Time difference in French Polynesia
What is the time difference between France and French Polynesia?
Except the Gambier and Marquesas Islands, all of French Polynesia is in the same time zone, UTC-10. Since Paris is in the UTC+1 time zone, the time difference between mainland France and Tahiti is 11 hours. To accurately calculate the time difference between the two places, you also need to consider the local time in each territory. Indeed, mainland France observes daylight saving time, unlike French Polynesia. Thus, from the fourth Sunday in March to the fourth Sunday in October each calendar year, Paris is an additional hour ahead of Papeete. During this period, the time difference between the two cities is 12 hours. In summer, when it is 12:00 PM in Paris, it is 12:00 AM in Tahiti.
