As most of you know… maybe… we’re switching to “summer time” this weekend.  The funny thing is that it doesn’t change for everyone, and when your state or country does follow the “rule” it may not be at the same time!

France won’t be switching until March 29th! 3 weeks from now!  Time and Date dot com is a great website to glance at if, where and when countries follow the lead.

And then in Autumn, France switches back to “winter time” on October 25th this year while the US will on November 1st so a week earlier for France.  (That’s gonna be an interesting Halloween!)

France will have 4 weeks less of “summer time” than people in the US.  Aren’t we deprived!
