Good to know about the time in Avignon
Avignon has the legal time of the whole of mainland France. Lying a little further east than Paris, the city sees the sun at its highest about ten minutes earlier than the capital, and its winter days are longer, thanks to its more southerly latitude.
In July, during the Festival, the sun sets around 21:21: the open-air performances in the Cour d’honneur of the Palais des Papes start at nightfall, around 22:00.
