Your team's working day, on Paris's clock
Today (1 November 2026). Each bar is 24 hours of local time in Paris; the shaded column is a local 9–5.
Clock changes ahead in Paris: 28 Mar 2027 → UTC+2; 31 Oct 2027 → UTC+1. Employers' clocks change on their own dates, which is why shared hours shift for a few weeks each spring and autumn.
Shared hours through the year
