In Analema nr. 20, a Spanish Sundial Bulletin, 2 other dials with French
Hours are mentioned.
Both are square dials.

One is in the museum "Musee de la Vie Wallone", Liege, Belgium, about 27
cm square, black marble, horizontal dial.

The other is in France at a house and dated 1794, 57 cm square, vertical
dial.

Both have double scales, for "normal" suntime and for French hours.
The pictures in the bulletin are of poor quality.

Fer.
