Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:53 on 11 December; the latest is 21:58 on 25 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:46 on 16 June to 08:44 on 1 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 14m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Paris different

On standard time the sun peaks at 12:41, 42 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 13:41.

Light lingers for 31 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 7 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 48.9°N buys you.

Photographers get 61 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.5× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it SW, June swings it 74° round to NW. Tonight, W.

By the end of September the sun will be setting 61 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 2 minutes a day.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 25 October 2026: sunset goes from 18:44 the evening before to 17:42 that evening.

Planning a sunset photo in Paris

Arrive by 18:43. Golden hour opens at 18:58 and the sun is down by 19:40, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 269° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 19:59 and runs to 20:11, the end of civil twilight and 31m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Paris — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
