Yeah I'm excited about the upcoming "nautical twilight: rest of the night" stuff.
No seriously there's a tangible difference with Nice. My train departs at 17:10 and arrives in Paris around 22:50 on Friday nights and I always enjoy following the twilight on my Paris-bound journeys. These days there's still light on the NW horizon when the train arrives. Exotic stuff for this Riviera dweller.

Nautical Twilight doesn't last all night in Paris, the sun goes 19 degrees below the horizon. Here at 52N, it literally gets pitch dark for 5 hours each night. Back home now at 55N, we now have Nautical twilight all night which means the sun will not go lower than 11 degrees below the horizon. That is when it's got that blue tint ALL night not at 4am.
Your daylight hours are just altered in to a false pretense with a solar noon at 2pm.
You have to go to Scotland/Denmark/Estonia in Europe to get long nights.

I meant astronomical twilight.
