France uses Central European Time (CET/CEST), IANA identifier Europe/Paris.
France shares Central European Time with most of the EU, making cross-border meetings simple.
France switches between CET (UTC +01:00) and CEST (UTC +02:00) on the EU schedule, late March to late October.
The second panel shows UTC beside the local clock, and the roller lets you check any UTC hour against CET/CEST — useful when a call, deadline or flight time is published in UTC.
