Shabbat Times in Lyon

For Friday 2026-08-21

Halachic note

Lyon follows the local custom of lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset. The Shabbat-end time shown uses tzeit hakochavim (8.5°). A 72-minute alternative is also shown for those who follow that opinion.

Lyon is home to a vibrant, primarily Sephardic Jewish community with a history stretching back to the Roman era. Shabbat observance is centered around the historic Grand Synagogue and the community hub of Villeurbanne, which offers kosher amenities and an eruv.
