What you'll see in Paris
Paris gets a deep partial eclipse — 93% of the Sun covered — low in the WNW sky just before sunset.
Keep eclipse glasses on for the whole event — the Moon never fully covers the Sun here, so it is never safe to look without them, even at maximum.
⚠ Eye safety
Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. There is no safe moment to remove them in this city — the Sun is never fully covered.
