Explanation of daylight saving time

ClockGMT (Greenwich Mean Time)

Winter In Paris the time is GMT + 1 Ex : when it’s midday GMT, it’s 1pm in Paris.

Summer In Paris the time is GMT + 2 Ex : when it’s midday GMT, it’s 2pm in Paris.

In France, as in the UK and some other countries, we change to summer time on the last Sunday in March at 2 in the morning, so the clocks are put forward to 3am. Then in preparation for the winter, the clocks go back an hour on the last Sunday in October at 3am, which then becomes 2am.
