About the time in Descartes
Sunrise today lands at 07:02 and sunset at 08:59 local time, giving 13h 57m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (46.97, 0.70) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Descartes.
Descartes runs on Europe/Paris, which puts the city UTC +2 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Descartes sits at latitude 46.97, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 57m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
