A perfect masterpiece of religious sculpture from the late 15th or early 16th century. On its shaft, twelve tableaux (three on each side) depict scenes from the life of Christ. In the corners, the twelve apostles and, above them, the four evangelists. The cross is two-sided: on one side, the crucifixion under the eyes of St. Peter and St. Michael. On the reverse, Our Lady of Mercy, between Saint Magdalene and Saint John, presents the lifeless body of her son. This painting marks the end of the drama.

Les Fermes du Moyen Age is an open-air site where authentic buildings have been reassembled to form a 15th-century village! This village, still under construction, bears witness to the rural life of the people of Xaintrie (nestled between the Dordogne valley and the Auvergne volcanoes). You'll enter several fully furnished farmhouses dating from the late 15th century, as well as outbuildings such as the mill, the chapel and the notary's dwelling. You'll be amazed by the scents and ambience, the domesticated animals in their stables and meadows, the smoke-filled, blackened kitchens, not to mention the gardens with over 350 plants.
