I remember when I went on a trip on Canal Du Midi in France and I visited the Carcassonne Castle. when I got to the top, I remember seeing a French siren. Does anyone have any pictures of it? at the time, I wasnt that interested in sirens, therefore I took no pictures of it. :(

Hi there,

I don't have any photos of the particular siren you mentioned, but if it was of a typical French design, it may look similar to those in this photo slide-show I uploaded today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZduE8Mt5UP8

Does anybody know anything about these sirens? I have seen one that was stacked similar to a 2t22.

These are the classic "Silent Hill" sirens, since the film director was French. If I'm not mistaken, they have high slip motors because they are from the WWII era

The French standard siren is still manufactured by several companies. Check the specs:
