Some sources associate this cross with the French armies in Napoleonic campaigns but these are unconfirmed. The truth is that similar objects also occur in southern France.
Anyway the cross is about 140cm tall and consists of three circles with reliefs of crosses. Local people recently straightened it into vertical position because it lay long time sunken in the soil.
