It is a place too little known and deserves all the attention. However, as of March 20, 1945, the Jardin du Calvaire was classified under the law of May 2, 1930 for «the richness of its plantations and the religious interest it arouses».
Thus, this remarkable site presents a military (bastion), religious (Calvary and Way of the Cross) and natural heritage (trees and bushes) and offers the visitor a place conducive to meditation and discovery.
