Thirty-three French kings were crowned in Reims cathedral between 1027 and 1825. The building was shelled repeatedly in the First World War, losing most of its glass and much of its structure, and took two decades to restore.
The clock: Reims keeps UTC+1 in the heart of Champagne, where the chalk cellars beneath the city run for tens of kilometres and hold millions of bottles.
Reims lies at 4.0°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 11.0° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 44 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:44 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 104 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:44.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 16h 15m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 11m. The swing between them is 8h 4m. 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 Reims the sun comes up earliest on 17 June at 05:37, while the latest sunset waits until 27 June at 21:53. 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 Reims that civil twilight runs about 32 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 43 minutes at the solstice.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
