Origin and history
La Croix Saint-Yves is located at the so-called "La Lande Saint-Yves" in Bubry, Morbihan department, Brittany. This 17th century religious monument is distinguished by its characteristic architecture: an altar-shaped base enhanced by two steps, topped by a large granite polygonal barrel. The cross itself bears a representation of Christ on one side and of the Virgin on the other, with a sculpted radiation between the arms.
The Saint-Yves Cross was listed as historic monuments on March 20, 1934, recognizing its heritage value. Today it belongs to the municipality of Bubry and is located near the fairground, in a space not cadastred but identified as a public domain. Its location, both isolated and symbolic, suggests a historical role in local gatherings or religious practices.
Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its architectural and cultural importance in the region. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be "a priori satisfactory", with an approximate address indicated as "5846 Route de Bubry Saint-Yves". The cross thus embodies a Christian and artistic heritage typical of Lorient and Morbihan.
