Crossroads Rue Gohette - La Roche-en-Ardenne

This crossing is on Rue Gohette.

A road or field cross is a common memorial in Catholic regions at the intersection of roads and streets. It is a religious expression that reminds passers-by that Christ died on the cross.

Crosses come in wood, cast iron, and stone varieties. They were placed by wealthy individuals , often farmers, or by neighborhood associations raising money for the purpose. If a road cross is erected outside of built-up areas, it is called a field cross.

If the Christ figure does not lay his head on the right but on the left shoulder, we speak of a dear false lord.

So this is correct...
