Monument on Route Napoleon

Time of past OR future Camino
Twice walked from St Jean to Estella and once from Sarria to Santiago. Maybe someday I'll find the time to do the entire walk.
I've found the time. Just completed SJPP to Santiago. 25 Aug to 1st Oct, 2016.
And now the Portuguese from Lisbon.
There's a monument on the Route Napoleon, at about the 14km point, which reminded me of a 19th Century grave. It has a stone base and iron railings. Does anyone know why it was placed there?

This is probably the Croix Thibaut: is this it?

It was erected in 1990 and bears a Basque inscription "I am the way etc."

That's it. Thank you.

No. I think all signs are in Spanish.
If you're carrying a guide book it should have details in your native language.
