Chateau, Aspres-sur-Buech

This sundial can be found above the entrance of the old chateau in Aspres-sur-Buëch. Currently this buiding hosts a bread&breakfast.

The dial shows hour and half-hour lines from 5:30 to 4:30. The hourlines start in a classic moon around the gnomon. Below the dial proper there is a drawer of a woman sitting on the ground with a child and pidgeon.

The motto reads “une parole vaut mieux qu’un ecrite”, a word is worth more than a letter”.

Location: Aspres-sur-Buech, Hautes-Alpes, France
