This small metal cross is located in the hamlet of Le Planet on a plateau on the north of Argentiere. The cross sits on top of a stone column on a small mound. There is a water fountain nearby. The row of houses behind the cross are all private property and the little trail that runs in front of those houses is not for public use. The way to view the cross is from the southern side and you will see if you take the steep trail up from Argentiere to Le Planet. The cross and the mound it sits on are likely private property so we would advise looking at it from a distance.
