Throughout France, we are going to winter time tonight from the 28th to 29th October 2017, at 3am it will be 2am.
Every year, the same ritual arrives at the end of October since the oil crisis of 1973-1974. “Since 1998, the date of change of time has been harmonized within the European Union. In all the member countries, the changeover to the winter time takes place on the last Sunday of October and the changeover to summer time on the last Sunday of March, “recalls the website servicepublic.fr
This year, the transition to winter time arrives in the night of Saturday, 28th October to Sunday 29th October, 2017, at 3 o’clock in the morning it will be 2 am. The next shift will be Sunday 25th March, 2018 (at 2 am).
“The purpose of the time change is to best match the hours of operation with the hours of sunshine to limit the use of artificial lighting. ”
For many, especially the youngest and oldest, these changes of hours are feared. It may take a few days to get back to new habits.
