Croix du Guizay, Monumental cross in Le Guizay, France
A large stone cross stands at 867 meters above sea level, offering views over Saint-Etienne city and the Ondaine valley.
The cross marks a traditional pilgrimage site where locals have gathered for religious ceremonies throughout the centuries in the Massif Central region.
The observation table near the cross helps visitors identify landmarks including the Forez Mountains, Lyon Mountains, and the Col de l'Oeillon peaks.
A free parking area is available 200 meters from the cross, with direct access through a walking path from the Saint-Etienne Solaure tram station.
From this vantage point, visitors can observe a perfect straight line view of Saint-Etienne's main avenue stretching 6 kilometers from Terrasse to Bellevue.
