Paris Time and the European Clock Change
Quick answer: Paris uses CET (UTC+1) in standard time · CEST (UTC+2) during March-October.
Paris is on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer. France moves its clocks forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.
Those are the same dates as London, Berlin, Rome, Madrid and Amsterdam, so Paris stays one hour ahead of London and level with Berlin all year. 3:00 PM in Paris is 2:00 PM in London.
The mismatch is with the US, which moves on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November. In those few weeks between the changes, the Paris-New York gap is 5 hours, not the usual 6. 3:00 PM in Paris is 9:00 AM in New York normally and 10:00 AM in mid-March.
Paris Against the Rest of Europe and the Gulf
London and Berlin shift on the same weekends as Paris, so those gaps stay put. New York is where the seasonal mismatch shows up, and Dubai and Tokyo, which never change, show a gap that narrows by an hour each summer.
Fitting a Call Into the Paris Day
From London you're one hour behind, so 9:00 AM in London is 10:00 AM in Paris. From New York, the Paris afternoon is your morning: 8:00 AM in New York is 2:00 PM in Paris.
Tokyo is the awkward one. A Tokyo evening is a Paris morning, so 5:00 PM in Tokyo is 9:00 AM in January and 10:00 AM in July in Paris, and Dubai's 1:00 PM is 10:00 AM in January and 11:00 AM in July.
