Suhoor and iftar in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin

Method and madhab

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

A quirk of the timezone

True midday in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin arrives some 36 minutes after what the clock reads. That is why Dhuhr sits at 12:36 pm rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.

From Fajr to Isha

Fajr opens the day at 5:46 am, well before first light. You have until 7:34 am, when the sun comes up. Midday brings Dhuhr at 12:36 pm; Asr comes round at 3:53 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:38 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:08 pm. Around 10 hours and 4 minutes of daylight, all told.
