Attractions
- The Calvaire d'Huberdeau: The Calvaire d'Huberdeau is a Christian monument composed of a series of 27 statues, each standing about 7 feet tall and weighing some 700 pounds. These statues were imported from Vaucouleurs around 1920 and have served as a beacon of religious faith for the residents of Huberdeau ever since. Standing atop the largest hill in town, the Calvaire now acts as a hiking destination and a lookout for those seeking to admire the beauty of the municipality.
