Two curious instruments to discover!
At the top of the Butte du Teil or Mont de la Garde in Courgains, two original instruments catch the eye: an orientation table with a loxodromic pointer that shows the exact distance to a town and its location in relation to that place, and a sundial known as an "analematic sundial" that you have to move and turn to find out the time.Contact
