Facade Sud, Eglise, Grand Parcher

This dial can be found on the southern facade of the church in Grand Parcher in the Vallouise Valley of the Hautes-Alpes, France.

The dial dates from 1718. Around the stylus one can see a sun and moon. The imagery reminds of the Louis XV period. The numbers however use a very modern typestyle.

The dial does not present the right time. Probably the gnomon has been deplaced during the restauration works of the facade.
