Across Eglise, Ste. May
This dial can be found in the small village of Ste. May. It is located in the street of the church, but not on the side of the church.
The dial shows hourlines from 7 to 6 o’clock. I am surprised that I do not see a shadow. I was there around 10 o’clock summer time, but the whole wall was still in the shadow.
The dial shows a motto in french “vous ne save le jour ni l’heure” and latin “nescitis diem neque horam”. This translates to “you do not know day nor hour”.
The dial shows a pigeon and olive twigs.

Rue de Cimetiere, Ste May
This sundial can be found in the small village of Ste. May. The dial is on a side street to the left when one walks from the main squary to the cemetary.
This sundial has an industrial look at first glance. However the dial is inclined to the west and the layout reflects this. The dial has hourlines from 11 to 7 o’clock.
The dial shows a white pigeon and an olive twig.

Nyons
This sundial was pretty hard to spot. I saw it from far away and was unable to get any closer. So I am not sure what can be seen on the dial itself. I get the impression that there are hourlines and halfhour points. There does not seem to be any motto.
The dial can be found in Nyons, departement Drôme, France. It is close to the medieval bridge. When one stands on that bridge and looks down the road into tom, one can see the dial above all the houses.
