Prayer times in Château-Gontier — common questions

What time is Fajr in Château-Gontier today?

Fajr in Château-Gontier begins at 04:29 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Château-Gontier?

From Château-Gontier, the Qibla is 114.8° from true north — roughly ESE. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Château-Gontier?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across France. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How far is Château-Gontier from Makkah?

Château-Gontier lies approximately 4646 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.

How much does daylight change through the year in Château-Gontier?

Day length in Château-Gontier ranges from about 8.4 hours at midwinter to 16 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 7.6 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
