This sundial indicates hours, seasonal changes, sun position, sunrise and sunset

It indicates hours, half-hours, quarter-hours, seasonal changes, sunrise and sunset. This sundial, one of the most beautiful in France, dates from the 18th century and was renovated in 1959 and 1977. You'll have to search a little to admire it, but it's well worth the detour. The Latin motto " Sicut umbra fugit vita " (translated as "like the shadow, life flees") is inscribed on the sundial, providing food for thought. A must-see!

Cadran solaire datant de 1711
Ce cadran quasi-méridional peint date de 1711 et fut rénové en 1959 puis en 1977. Sur la partie supérieure, une inscription en latin « Sicut umbra fugit vita » et « Fecit ano MD CC XI », soit « Comme une ombre fuit la vie - Fait en l'an 1711 ». Selon la mairie, il fournit quantité d'informations : les heures, les 1/2 heures, 1/4 heures, les changements de saison, la position du soleil dans le zodiaque, la date de l'année (à quelques jours près), ainsi que l'heure du lever et du coucher du soleil. Toutefois, en hiver, l'ombre du toit en face gêne la lecture.
