* [[Auxerre]]. The 15th-century clock in the {{Interlanguage link|Tour de l'Horloge, Auxerre|lt=Tour de l'Horloge|fr|Tour de l'Horloge d'Auxerre}} has a 24-hour sun hand and a moon hand which completes a revolution in a [[lunar day]] of 24 hours 50 minutes, and shows the lunar phase on a rotating moon ball.
* [[Beauvais]]. The [[Beauvais astronomical clock]] in [[Beauvais Cathedral]], constructed 1865–1868 by [[Auguste-Lucien Vérité]], has 52 dials that display the times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, the phases of the moon, the solstices, the position of the planets, the current time in 18 cities around the world, and the tidal hours. Its 68 automata enact the [[Last Judgement]] on the hour.
* [[Besançon]]. The [[Besançon astronomical clock]] in [[Besançon Cathedral]] (1860) was also constructed by Auguste-Lucien Vérité. Its 70 dials provide 122 indications.
* [[Bourges]]. The [[Bourges astronomical clock]] in [[Bourges Cathedral]] was installed in 1424. It shows the zodiac, and the moon phase and age.
* [[Chartres]]. The {{Interlanguage link|Chartres astronomical clock|fr|Horloge astronomique de Chartres}} in [[Chartres Cathedral]] is an astrolabe clock, installed in 1528. It was overhauled, its mechanism replaced by an electric mechanism, in 2009.
* [[Haguenau]]. The facade of the [[Musée alsacien (Haguenau)|Musée alsacien]] displays an astronomical clock, a modern copy of the clock of the Ulm Rathaus.
* [[Lyon]]. The [[Lyon astronomical clock]] in [[Lyon Cathedral]] was constructed in 1661, replacing a 14th-century original. It has an astrolabe dial and a calendar dial.
* [[Munster, Haut-Rhin|Munster]]. The Church of Saint-Léger houses the Clock of Creation, installed in 2008.

* [[Ploërmel]]. The [[Ploërmel astronomical clock]], constructed 1850–1855, comprises an astronomical clock with 10 dials and an [[orrery]].
* [[Rouen]]. The [[Gros Horloge]] has a movement built in 1389, with a dial added in 1529. It indicates the moon phase on a rotating sphere above the dial, and the day of the week in an aperture at the base of the dial.
* [[Saint-Omer]]. The {{Interlanguage link|Saint-Omer astronomical clock|fr|Horloge astronomique de Saint-Omer}} in [[Saint-Omer Cathedral]] is an astrolabe clock of 1558.
* [[Strasbourg]]. The [[Strasbourg astronomical clock]] is the third clock housed in [[Strasbourg Cathedral]], following 14th-century and 16th-century predecessors. Constructed by [[Jean-Baptiste Schwilgué]] from 1838 to 1843, it shows many astronomical and calendrical functions (including what is thought to be the first complete mechanization of the [[computus]] needed to compute Easter) and several automata.
* [[Versailles (city)|Versailles]]. The [[Passemant astronomical clock]] in the [[Palace of Versailles]] near Paris is a [[rococo]] astronomical clock sitting on a formal low marble base. It took 12 years for a clockmaker and an engineer to build and was presented to [[Louis XV of France|Louis XV]] in 1754.
