Good to know about the time in Nice

Nice has the legal time of the whole of mainland France. At the eastern end of the French Riviera, it sees the sun at its highest around 12:31 in winter and 13:31 in summer (mean solar noon), about twenty minutes earlier than Paris.

The sun therefore rises early: at the December solstice, around 08:00, when Paris still has forty minutes to wait. Winter days last about 40 minutes longer than in the capital.
