Hi David, We're all getting old, so I may be as wrong as you, but I trust we're both correct in thinking that the sun is indeed on the meridian around 2pm in France in the summer. No wonder they manage such lovely long evenings. (Oops, shouldn't have said that. I mean, no wonder their view of the day is so distorted.) Best wishes Chris

I'm doing a design for an analemmatic dial in France. France is in the GMT time zone but chooses to be +1 on GMT in the winter months and +2 in the summer months (daylight saving). I have the co-ordinates etc for the dial's lat and long - no problem here. Am I right in labelling the hour points as follows, for showing winter months............... The hour point nearest to the meridian line (which would have been 12 in UK) will be 1 pm in France. If the dial is to indicate daylight saving hours, then the point nearest top the meridian will be labelled 2pm.
