Consecrated on May 3, 1900 (day of the Holy Cross and Saint Clement, patron saint of the village), the Cross and its effigy of Christ are one of the emblems of the village that spreads out at its feet.
Standing 6 metres high, it is said to have been commissioned by Abbé Mathieu, who purposely placed it in the axis of the Place Neuve. He was responding to the anticlerical climate of the time, and was particularly targeting the atheist owner of the village's most imposing house... the former Tourist Office! According to tradition, the cleric said to his enemy: "You'll have Christ in front of you for the rest of your life! ". The monument also had a less spiritual function: it served as a lightning rod for the village for many years, before rust got the better of it. Badly damaged, the Cross was restored in 1978.
