The calvary in rue Pasteur.

  • Le calvaire de la rue Pasteur

Presentation

Discover the religious heritage of La Plaine-sur-Mer with the calvary in rue Pasteur.
In the past, stone crosses were erected at crossroads. They are wrongly called calvaries.

The calvary in rue Pasteur dates from 1930.

Close to the village, and as a result of its expansion, a neighbouring village no longer had the cross whose name it bears.
The monument that a parishioner had erected on the same spot after the revolution had fallen into ruin. The old cross lay abandoned in a lane.

A landowner graciously offered the most suitable site for the new calvary.
The workmen soon had the bases of the cross, which had come from Ancenis, fully prepared.
This year's churchwardens had the honour of transporting it from Pornic station to La Plaine-sur-Mer.
The traces of its origin and construction are carefully preserved in a parchment enclosed in its imitation granite base.
 
This calvary is located in the town centre of La Plaine-sur-Mer, in the corner of the roundabout between rue de la Croix Bouteau and rue Pasteur.

Other crosses can be discovered during a stroll or at the bend in the road.
