Chartreuse - South
The south-facing sundial. The dial shows hourlines from 7 to 6 pm. It has also shortened half-hour markers. The hourlines emanate from a moon circle.
The decoration seems a bit baroque.
The dial face has a motto “Nos Jours Secoulent Com…” The rest is no longer readable.
The dial has been restored in 1988 by Atelier Tournesol.

Chartreuse - Ouest
This is an west-facing sundial. It shows hour and half-hour lines from 2:30 to 6:30 pm, although from the gnomon you can see that it indicates already much earlier.
Unfortunately the dial face is broken by a new building addition.

MF des Etroits
This sundial can be found on a building next to the Maison Forestiere.
It is a simple dial showing hourlines from 7 to 4. The hourlines are difficult to see and only the hour markers can be seen. The gnomon seems a bit bent.
Unfortunately there is a ghost shadow on the dial face due to an electricity post.
Location: Maison Forestière des Etroits, St. Julien en Beauchêne, Hautes-Alpes, PACA, France
