Sunset on the day of the Summer solstice
On that day, the Sun will be at its highest in the sky at noon. Days will be as longer as we will be North. The Sun will set latter North of Paris than South. This will be compensated by the position more East or more West of a city. So, the Sun will set at the same time in Paris, Tours of Niort, cities South-West of Paris. The Sun will not rise at the same time, daylight being shorter South of Paris than North.
