Un cadran solaire inauguré sur la place Chastel

Credits

Un cadran solaire installé tout au fond de la place Chastel, à Thiers, a été inauguré, ce dimanche midi. Commandé par la Ville, ce cadran a été réalisé par le cadranier thiernois Yves Guyot à partir d'une épée forgée lors du salon Coutellia, en 2011, par les forgerons catalans et deux couteliers thiernois (Henri Viallon et Dominique Chambriard). Il est désormais possible, en présence du soleil, d'y lire l'heure à Thiers, mais aussi à Schrobenhausen (Allemagne) et à Bridgnorth (Angleterre), villes jumelées à la cité coutelière.


A sundial inaugurated on the Place Chastel

A sundial installed at the end of the Place Chastel, in Thiers, was inaugurated this Sunday noon. Commissioned by the city, this sundial was made by the Thiers sundial maker Yves Guyot from a sword forged during the Coutellia exhibition, in 2011, by Catalan blacksmiths and two Thiers cutlers (Henri Viallon and Dominique Chambriard). It is now possible, in the presence of the sun, to read the time in Thiers, but also in Schrobenhausen (Germany) and Bridgnorth (England), cities twinned with the cutlery city.
