Restoration / Repairs

Date of restoration and/or repairs :

This cross seems to be buried too deep.
It should be taken out to see the base and replaced on a rough pavement that prevents the vegetation from getting too close

How it was made

Granite is ubiquitous here, it is everywhere in the fields

Each of the inventoried crosses was made by a different stonemason.

However, it seems that they all used the same model or « pattern ».

Each carver made his sculpture from some local granite stone known as a fieldstone.

Find out more with the expertise of Didier Fauguet, stone sculptor and carver.

Location
