Good to know about the time in Lille
Lille keeps the legal time of all of mainland France and, to within a few minutes, has the same solar noon as Paris: around 12:48 in winter and 13:48 in summer (mean solar noon).
Further north, it has very contrasting days: less than 8 hours of daylight at the winter solstice and nearly 16 and a half hours at the summer solstice, a quarter of an hour less and then a quarter of an hour more than in Paris. Neighbouring Belgium changes its clocks on the same dates.
