What is the time zone difference between France and Philadelphia PA. Eastern Time?

Answer 1

France is in the Central European time zone (GMT+1) and Philadelphia is in the Eastern Standard time zone (GMT-5), so French clocks are six hours ahead of those in Philadelphia when both are on standard time. During the summer, both areas observe daylight saving time, so the difference is again six hours. The only complication is that the U.S. (as of 2007) observes daylight saving time from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, whereas Europe uses it from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Thus for several weeks each year the clocks in France are only five hours ahead of those in Philadelphia.

Answer 2

France is 6 hours ahead of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which is in the Eastern Time Zone.
