This beautiful sundial placed on the facade the South of the church was restored in 1992 by the workshop Sunflower. The restorers were able to release figures, inscription IHS, sun with its beams, M of noon. The church is a building of the XVIIth century.
The dial as for it is of the XIXth century and resumes the composition of the dials of Zarbula: frame in trompe-l'oeil and style / gnomon crashed in a sun carrying initials IHS. To Val-des-Prés (valley of Clarée), a dial signed by Zarbula looks like it, completed by a bottom in forgery-marble, birds and currency a lot.
Its situation on the wall of the church is very ostentatious : We see it from far away, since main highways beetween Gap and Briançon, and on the other side of the Durance since Villar-Meyer on the road serving Vallouise.
