A very nice recent dial on Maison Derbez B. I assume these are the owners of the house. The dial has been created in 2004. I am not sure who are the creators as there are multiple initials, such as J.F.G. and Ph. & G.L. The painting on the dial is simple with just some grapes. The motto of the dial is "Un temps pour semer, un temps pour vendanger". This translates very roughly to "a time to sow the seeds, a time to pick the fruits". There is also an intricate square, with four lines, which read Sator, Arepo, Tenet, Opera, Rotas. This is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sator_Arepo_Tenet_Opera_Rotas" title="latin palindrome">latin palindrome</a>. The sentence reads the same from back to front, up to down and down to up. There are four number at each corner of the square (1, 4, 3, 6). Not sure what that means.

There are many lines visible on the dial. Naturally the lines for hours and half-hours, indicated in Roman numbers. Also the date lines are visible, indicated as 21 jun, 10, jul, 10 aug, 3 sep, 23 sep, 14 oct, 4 nov, 1 dec and 21 dec. And if you wonder why these dates, they equate the number of sunshine hours (durée du jour) (15.5, 15, 14, ...9, 8h43m). And finally the time before sunset is indicated by the black lines.
