The Three Crosses On Andance, Monumental cross in Andance, France.
The Three Crosses stand on a hillside above the Rhône River in Andance, offering sweeping views of the valley and the village below.
The monument honors three saints whose relics were reportedly recovered from the Rhône riverbanks during the medieval period in this region.
Local legends associate the crosses with tragic tales of lost children or women waiting for crusaders, adding layers of folklore to the site.

The vantage point provides clear views of the 1827 suspension bridge and the terraced vineyards that define Andance's agricultural landscape today.
