Frequently asked questions
How many hours ahead is Paris of New York?
Paris is always 6 hours ahead of New York. Neither side shifts its clocks, so the gap never changes.

12:00 noon CET is 06:00 EST.
Does CET or EST use daylight saving time?
Both CET and EST observe daylight saving, but they usually switch on different dates — so for a couple of weeks each spring and autumn the difference is an hour off its usual value.
