Time difference between Paris and Helsinki

Helsinki is 1 hour ahead of Paris

Paris, France is UTC+1 · Helsinki, Finland is UTC+2 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Paris goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Helsinki goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October — so 1 hour is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
