Where to watch the sunrise and sunset in Villefranche-sur-Mer
Through the year
Villefranche-sur-Mer gets about 15.5 hours of daylight around the June solstice and about 8.9 hours around the December solstice. On June 21 the sun rises at 5:49 and sets at 21:16; on December 21 it rises at 8:01 and sets at 16:56. The earliest sunset of the year is around December 9 (16:53), and the latest sunrise around January 3 (8:04).
The direction changes as much as the time. In June the sun rises in the north-east (56°) and sets in the north-west (304°); in December it rises in the south-east (123°) and sets in the south-west (238°). That is why the same viewpoint can show the sun over the sea in one season and behind the hills, or outside the view, in another.
