Current time in Paris, France

Paris follows Central European clock changes

Paris uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) in summer. Under current European rules, Paris and London change at the same instant, keeping Paris one hour ahead.

For calls to North America, check the date rather than assuming the difference stays constant through March and autumn. European and US change weekends differ. An event advertised in CET should be checked carefully during summer, when Paris normally observes CEST.
