Best time to schedule a meeting
Working hours overlap between 09:00 and 12:00 EST — that is 15:00 to 18:00 in Paris. Anything inside that band lands in the 9-to-6 working day on both sides.
Frequently asked questions
How many hours ahead is New York of Paris?
New York is always 6 hours behind Paris. Neither side shifts its clocks, so the gap never changes.
What time is 12:00 noon EST in CET?
12:00 noon EST is 18:00 CET.
Does EST or CET use daylight saving time?
Both EST and CET 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.
