What time is it in France?

France is currently on standard time, UTC+1:00. The next change is Sunday, March 28, 2027, when clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time.

Paris is 6 hours ahead of New York and 9 hours ahead of Los Angeles. 9am in New York is 3:00 pm in Paris.

To convert a specific time rather than read the current one, the converter shows both directions with the next clock change for each.

The day is 9 hours 16 minutes long in Paris, and losing 3 minutes a day. The sun peaks at 12:34 pm, 34 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Paris sits 51 minutes of solar time west of UTC+1:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.

The solar year swings 7 hours 56 minutes in Paris: 16 hours 11 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 8 hours 15 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
