What you will see
Carnot is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 10:56:19 local time, the Moon hides 7% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 10:07:09 and ends at 11:45:36, 1 h 38 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 69° above the horizon, towards the north-east, so you want a clear view in that direction from Carnot.

The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Darāw, about 2,829 km north-east, where totality lasts 3 m 08 s.
