Good to know about the time in Pontarlier
Pontarlier has the same legal time as the whole of mainland France, like neighbouring Switzerland: you cross the border at Les Verrières without touching your watch. In the east of the country, the town sees the sun reach its highest point at around 12:35 in winter and 13:35 in summer (mean solar noon), sixteen minutes before Paris.
This was not the case in 1980: Switzerland, which had rejected daylight saving time, was one hour behind France all summer. The Haut-Doubs shares a long watchmaking tradition with the Swiss Jura, from Morteau to La Chaux-de-Fonds. Time in Besançon
