Solar cannon of the Jardin du Palais Royal - Paris 1er - A 1800's sundial cannon in Paris - For more than a century, this small cannon of about twenty centimetres attracted many visitors to the garden of the Palais Royal: Parisians came to settle their watches while strangers marvel at its ingenious mechanics. It was designed in 1786 by Rousseau, a watchmaker at the 95 Beaujolais Gallery, to tun naturally at noon solar time: when the Soleil passes to the meridien of Paris, the magnifying glass concentrated its rays on the shell and released the firing. In 1799, the cannon moved to its current location, on the lawns of the Royal Palace. It will thunder until 1914. Victim of a robbery in 1998, a replica was reinstalled in 2002. A 1800's combination type sundial cannon. At noon the sun rays were focused by the lens to fire the cannon and announce the hour. Built in 1786, moved in 1799 and stolen in 1998, here is a replica located at its initial place in Palais - Royal gardens
