Long Description:
In René Cassin Square, except famous L'Ecouté sculpture, Henri de Miller built the "Cadran solaire", realizing mathematician Dandrel's invention. Normally, sundials use the movement of a shadow to mark the time. This one uses the rays of sunlight that enter the sundial through slits about eight feet feet above ground. When the light hits a horizontal fiber optic inside the sculpture it is sent to a dial on a low wall where it marks the time.
Sundial Type: Other
