Each of these crosses, which the traveler often encounters in the fields or, as here under the name "Calvaire du Roc," at the top of the rock, is a sign commemorating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. "Here on earth, His memory exists, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. Remembrance is our comfort, we who are still wanderers, traveling towards our homeland." (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090–1153)
