"A staircase of two circular steps supports a rectangular limestone slab. The base, cylindrical at the beginning, tapers slightly into a truncated cone at the top. It is carved in a round hump, the other side bearing no decoration. In the center, a very protruding human head serves as a stoup. To the right, on the north side, a figure shows a cross in one hand and an object appearing to be a key in the other. On the opposite side, a second figure, leaning on a cross, holds a sort of globe in his right hand, resting on his heart. It could be Saint Peter and Saint Paul, or Saint John. The cross is rectangular in cross-section. The arms and the top end in a hemispherical globe representing a head above which is indicated the date 1161. This monument is the oldest wayside cross in the department". Information from the Mérimée base
