Presentation of: CALVAIRE LA CROIX DAVID

High calvaries with a crucified Christ can often be seen at crossroads in the region. These roadside markers are also places of spirituality, often built by local families. The Croix David calvary, built in 1908, belongs to the family of the Château de Beaumarchais, 800 metres away. The inscription reminds us of the steps to take to receive 300 days of indulgences.
