Not exactly. In Paris, lunch time is at 1:00. That is very close to solar noon. Paris is just a few degrees east of London.
Maybe lunch time is at solar transit.

I stay in Europe and hope we can get rid of it - dammned DST. I am still very emotional about it and see it as one of many homan made mistakes.

The proposal has just passed in the Senate but still has to be accepted by the House of Representatives, so we can't celebrate yet. ( https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-senate-approves-bill-that-would-make-daylight-savings-time-permanent-2023-2022-03-15/ ) If it happens, Canada would quickly follow. In fact, here in British Columbia it's already in law that we will switch to permanent DST once Washington (state), Oregon and California have switched. The EU is already on the same path but things have got bogged down with some member countries yet to decide which timezone to adopt. EU-wide preparations were further delayed due to the pandemic ( https://www.thelocal.it/20211029/clocks-to-go-back-in-italy-despite-eu-deal-on-scrapping-hour-change/ ). I would have preferred permanent Standard Time over permanent Daylight-saving Time but, even so, I hope the plans proceed. It will certainly simplify the my designs for Civil Time sundials and Equation Of Time signage.
