Sometimes, there are questions on the forum about albergue/gite opening times, lights out, departure times etc. We were in Condom yesterday (Camino Le Puy) to visit Le Champ d'Etoiles, a gite that has a special place in our hearts. This sign with the various times made us smile.

For those who haven't been there, the gite has a delightful garden - as the sign says it's open to all from 12.12

Un gîte atypique pensé pour vous

Venez découvrir un gîte luminueux, fraîchement rénové par son nouveau propriétaire Florian, à quelques encablures de Condom, son centre-historique et ses commerces. Directement sur le Chemin de St Jacques, un jardin arboré de 1200m 2 sera pour vous un lieu idéal pour le repos du corps et de...

Many countries in Europe and elsewhere routinely use a 24h ‘clock’ for time. I think the US and Australia (where I’m from) and other countries that use a 12h clock are more in the minority. The quirkiness of the times gave me a giggle

I'm familiar with 24hour time, but wasn't sure what the h signified.

Thanks.

h = heure in french, or hour in english. 15h15 ,means 15 hours and 15 ,minutes., or 3:15 PM. We like a colon to separate hours and minutes, they like an "h". And yes, that's a great sign.
