Since the 17th century, the so-called Three Bishop's Cross stood at this point of the Jacob's Way. It marked the place where the historic provinces of Quercy, Rouergue and Auvergne met together. The today's cross is new and dates from the year 2013 and was designed after the model of the historical stone cross.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the looks of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
