How Marseille Keeps Time
Marseille keeps CET, UTC+1. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Marseille; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.
Marseille runs on the Europe/Paris zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+1 right now. The clocks change twice a year here: UTC+1 on standard time and UTC+2 while daylight saving is in force. The next change is on 28 March 2027, when clocks go forward one hour.
The sun rises in Marseille at 7:06 am today and sets at 5:38 pm — 10 hours 33 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:22 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (43.30, 5.37), so they shift a little every day of the year.
On the two solstices, Marseille has about 15 hours 24 minutes of daylight in June and 8 hours 58 minutes in December. The difference is about 6 hours 26 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.
The whole of France keeps one time, so the clock on this page is also the clock in Paris and in every other city listed below.
