Characteristics of this cross:
[FR] La croix a une forme assez simple. Son intérêt réside surtout dans la façon dont le Christ est représenté. Ce dernier est taillé en relief dans le bloc de pierre formant la croix. L'érosion a quelque peu effacé ses traits. Les croix de la région ont majoritairement les mêmes caractéristiques. [ENG] The cross has a rather simple form. Its interest lies especially in the way in which Christ is represented. This one is cut in relief in the block of stone forming the cross. Erosion somewhat erased its features. The crosses of the area have the same characteristics mainly.

Describe the location:
[FR] La croix domine la plage de Saint Guirec. A côté d'elle une plaque commémorative de la seconde guerre mondiale rappelle que le soulèvement général du maquis breton fut provoqué par la phrase, prononcée de Londres à la BBC : "Le chapeau de Napoléon est-il toujours à Perros-Guirec ?" [ENG] The cross dominates the beach of Saint Guirec. Beside it a commemorative plate of the second world war recalls that the general uprising of the resistance fighters in Brittany was caused by the sentence, pronounced from London at the BBC: “Is the hat of Napoleon always in Perros-Guirec?”
