analemnetic
An analemnetic sundial uses a horizontal surface as the surface onto which the shadow falls. This sundial type uses a vertical style, usually this is person. The usage of a vertical style implies that the position of the style changes with date. Thus the hour points can stay fixed.

Analemna, Le Chevalet
On the field at Le Chevalet one of the dials is an alemnetic one. The dial shows hour points from 5 to 7. The gnomon marker has some lines reminiscent of a real analemna, but it is just an artistic one. There are declination points however.

Thoard
On a trip a la decouverte du temps perdu, we saw this dial. It is my first wild analemmatic dial. The hour points are created with stones with the hour in latin numbers painted on it. The gnomon is a rectangular piece of stone with markers at fixed solar azimuths and signs of the zodiac.
The hour markers go from 4 o’clock to unknown and mark true solar time.
The sundial is in France, Alpes de Haute-Provence in Thoard. This is just above Digne-les-bains on the departementale 17. The dial is situated in the middle of this village next the the seniors home
I saw this dial on the 28 march of 2005 on a nice day. The sundial displays 2 o’clock and w took the picture at 13:52.
