Paris, France is UTC+1 · São Paulo, Brazil is UTC−3 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Paris goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and São Paulo does not change its clocks.

São Paulo stays put all year while Paris moves, so a meeting fixed in São Paulo's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Paris's end.
