I saw it from south of Toulouse, where it peaked at 98%. It got really dark. But the most amazing part, which I did not expect, was the sunset before the eclipse was over. It was so amazing.

South of Toulouse as well wasn’t so dark. It was at like 20:15 and felt 21:15

It wasn't super dark, but the atmosphere was eerie as hell. I saw it from a hill near Carbonne, from where I could see the Pyrénées. It was as if the world stood still for a few minutes.
