PARIS TIME. We are currently on summer time in France, but not for long! Consult the exact time in the French capital in real time, in order to update you after the winter time change of this month of October.
[Mis à jour le 21 octobre 2022 à 11h38] “What time is it ?” This is probably the question that comes up the most after the time change. You know, the one that makes us switch to winter time every year after six months of summer time. The 2022 winter time change takes place next Sunday, October 30. Our clocks will then all go back one hour, and this at a very specific time: 3 am on the night of Saturday October 29 to Sunday October 30.
At 3 a.m. it will be two o’clock (the opposite of what happens during the change of summer time, when our hands move forward one hour). Result: when you get out of bed, your electronic devices, including your smartphone (if its settings are correctly set) will magically display one hour less on the counter. You will have artificially benefited from an extra hour in your bed, but will have to deal with one less hour of natural light at the end of the day, starting on Sunday evening, October 30.
If the double seasonal time change has been in place in France for more than four decades, confusion still exists among the inhabitants of France between winter and summer time changes. If therefore, on October 30, you no longer know which dial to devote yourself to, check what time it is thanks to the new winter time in Pariswhich will be displayed black on white on our page thanks to the module below.
We have integrated this module into our page from the specialized site WebHorloge.frwhich displays live Paris time.
Further down in this practical guide, we direct you on the procedure to follow to know the real time according to the device concerned. You will know which ones manage to change the time on their own, and which ones need your intervention to set the record straight!
To stay up to date with the exact time in France, even with the transition to summer time, it is not necessarily necessary to set the clocks on time, by respecting the invariable rules of the time change. (the hand advances one hour in summer, moves back one hour in winter). Some devices update themselves such as smartphones, tablets, computers, alarm clocks, decoders, watches, but also the clocks of certain cars and certain household appliances, provided they are “intelligent”, in other words “connected”. For all that is analog, on the other hand, it is necessary to act. OvenTV, microwave, radio alarm clock, telephone, watch or even the dining room clock… Each appliance in the house thus gives its time, some resetting themselves to the correct “timing” automatically, others not, making us doubt the “official” time display, the one to believe in.

It’s not just when the time changes that knowing the exact time is crucial. Everyone has already experienced the following situation: your watch slows down, your pendulum advances, etc. If a few minutes early are rarely of consequence, a few minutes late can cause embarrassment. And no matter how much we go looking for the time around us, cell phones, watches and alarm clocks are far from all displaying the same time.
