Sunset Across France
Scope: this France directory covers metropolitan France. French overseas departments, territories and collectivities use additional time zones and are not represented by this metropolitan city list.
Among the bundled cities in France, today’s sunset is 5:21 pm in Strasbourg and 6:01 pm in Bordeaux. The city pages calculate the event from each set of coordinates rather than assigning one national time.
The listed cities span about 7 degrees of latitude. That latitude range matters most to seasonal day length, while longitude shifts when the same solar event appears on the clock.
Terrain and a blocked local horizon are not represented in these astronomical figures. The calculation notes describe that limitation.
Questions People Ask
Is there one sunset time for all of France?
No. The event is calculated for a point on Earth, so select the city whose coordinates match the place you need.
Why is the displayed sunset time different between cities in France?
Their clock is the same, but their positions are not. Longitude changes when the event occurs by local clock time, while latitude changes seasonal day length.
