The Cross of peace
Presentation
Placed next to the Salt Marshes Museum, the Cross of Peace has its own history and legend….
In 1896, it was written that a statue of Notre Dame du Sous-Terre was buried below, with an old priest of Batz-sur-Mer, Mr. Ollivier. Once, he said to his followers: “When you will get married, do your scandalous weddings in hostels, eat and drink peacefully at home, you will always be protected by the thunder”.
It’s true, never more an inhabitant was struck by lightning.
