Cycling
Located on Place Saint-Urcisse, in the heart of the old town, this kinetic work of art is often associated with water as it sits in the middle of a U-shaped fountain.
It is a monumental mechanical clock weighing 2 tons and standing 3.5 meters high. It operates without electricity for its pendulum movement: its energy comes exclusively from the weight of 54 steel pinball balls (weighing 80 grams each) descending along metal rails.
