About the time in Caen
Caen sits at latitude 49.18, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 06m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 07:01 and sunset at 09:08 local time, giving 14h 06m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (49.18, -0.37) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Caen.
Around 105,403 people live in Caen, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
