Best time to schedule a meeting
Working hours overlap between 09:00 and 17:00 GMT — that is 10:00 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 London of Paris?
London is always 1 hour behind Paris. Neither side shifts its clocks, so the gap never changes.
What time is 12:00 noon GMT in CET?
12:00 noon GMT is 13:00 CET.
Does GMT or CET use daylight saving time?
Both GMT 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.
