The clearing in the forest is the site of a small sacred monument: a statue of the Virgin Mary, known as the "Vierge du Mont Joly." The stone statue, which is not painted, stands on a brick base. The inscription reads "O! Marie, we have established our guardian." The figure is a work by Jean Molette (1819-1889) from 1884.

The pass of the pavilion culminates at 755 meters above sea level. The view of the western slope is quite unobstructed. I recommend a stop at the Le Pavillon hostel-hotel, which offers good food and allows you to take a break after climbing the pass.
