Castellane - Office de Tourisme
This sundial can be found in Castellane above the Office de Tourisme Building. This building can be found on the main road through town (the Route Napoleon), just north of the main plaza. It is on corner of Boulevard Saint Michel and rue National.
The dial is pretty recent, from 2007. The sundial face itself is simple, just some hourlines from 8 am to 6 pm. Below are the 7 shields, which I assume correspond to the surrounding villages. Below that is a motto ‘Lou souleu es jamai tant bèu, qu’un jour mounte s’encaminan’. I guess this is in provençal, which I would translate to ‘the sun is never more beautiful than when it rises during a walk’.
Below and above the dial are to images, which I gues refer to war and peace.
