Calvary Cross

Highlight • Monument

A first cross would have been erected here in the 17th century, then destroyed in 1793 during the French Revolution (like many symbols and religious buildings). It was rebuilt in 1805, briefly became a place of pilgrimage before being destroyed again in 1830. It was rebuilt in 1837. From here, there is a superb panorama over the forest of Fontainebleau.
