About the time in Paris
Around 2,190,327 people live in Paris, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:51 and sunset at 08:56 local time, giving 14h 05m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (48.86, 2.34) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Paris.
Paris sits at latitude 48.86, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 05m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
