Did You Know?
The Cannes festival was created in 1939 as a response to political interference at Venice, and its first edition was cancelled the day it opened because Germany invaded Poland. It resumed in 1946.
The clock: Cannes keeps UTC+1. Its Palme d'Or has been awarded since 1955 and the red carpet is replaced several times a day during the festival.
Cannes lies at 7.0°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 8.0° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 32 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:32 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 92 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:32.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 15h 26m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 56m. The swing between them is 6h 30m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Cannes the sun comes up earliest on 16 June at 05:50, while the latest sunset waits until 28 June at 21:17. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Cannes that civil twilight runs about 29 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 36 minutes at the solstice.
