Do you want to attend a magnificent show? If the weather report permitting, meet at the Champs-Élysées roundabout in Paris around 7:00 p.m. GMT (9:00 p.m. local time).
Like every year, twice, you will see the Sun lie down right in the axis of the Arc de Triomphe. This will happen at 7:13 p.m. UT, or 9:13 p.m. local time. Do not forget your camera.
If you can’t do it, don’t panic, the phenomenon will happen again on August 2 and 3.
