Located at the start of the Calvary climb, the religious monument of the statue Saint-Michel, known as «La Croix de Mission» consists of three elements: the cross, monolith granite cut stone, erected in 1880 and bearing the mention of the various missions of 1885, 1889 and 1890, surmounted by the statue of Christ dating from the last quarter of the 19th century and housing in a niche, that of Saint-Michel slaying the dragon, established in the second half of the 19th century. Exposed to the climatic turmoil and the outrages of time, aggravated by its installation on a particularly steep and not terraced ground, a global renovation of its various modules was necessary. The monument was fully restored in 2022.
