The Petit Croisse-Baulet boundary marker is one of the three markers that have been found in Val d'Arly, on the former border between Ceutrons and Allobroges.

Until the 18th century, it marked the border of mountain pastures between La Giettaz and neighbouring territories.

It was found again 25 years ago but it has been topped and does no longer bear the inscription "FINES".
