New York – Paris FAQ
What time is 9 AM EST in Paris?
9:00 AM EST is 3:00 PM CET in winter. In summer, 9:00 AM EDT is 3:00 PM CEST. Only during the few weeks when one region has switched clocks and the other has not does the gap become 5 hours.
What is the best meeting time for New York and Paris teams?
Between 8:00 and 11:00 AM New York time (2:00–5:00 PM Paris). Mid-window around 9 AM ET / 3 PM Paris keeps everyone comfortably inside business hours.
Do the US and France change clocks on the same date?
No. The US springs forward about two weeks before Europe and falls back about a week later. Those mismatch weeks quietly shift every transatlantic meeting by an hour.
