Good to know about the time in Belfort
Belfort has the legal time of the whole of mainland France. In the east of the country, it sees the sun at its highest around 12:33 in winter and 13:33 in summer (mean solar noon), eighteen minutes earlier than Paris.
From 1871 to 1918, the Territoire de Belfort remained French while neighbouring Alsace was German. From 1893, Alsace followed Central European Time, like the rest of Germany, and Belfort followed Paris time: between Belfort and Mulhouse, you had to put your watch forward by nearly an hour. France only adopted that same time in 1940.
