Current time in Paris

Paris spreads along the River Seine and is known for its museums, historic streets, and neighbourhoods with distinct character. It is a global city with residents and visitors from many backgrounds, including Muslim communities, mosques, and Islamic centres across Paris and its surrounding area.

Paris follows Europe/Paris and changes between standard time and daylight saving time during the year. The clock on this page updates automatically in your browser, which matters when comparing Paris with cities that keep the same offset all year.

At roughly 48.9° north, seasonal daylight changes are very noticeable. Summer evenings stay light much later, while winter days are shorter, and prayer times, sunrise, and sunset move accordingly through the year.

Prayer times in Paris use the Union of Islamic Organizations of France (UOIF) method listed in the city data. For congregational prayer, follow the timetable of the mosque where you pray. You can view Monthly Prayer Times, use the Prayer Clock, or open the Qibla tool to find the direction of Makkah.
