What is the time difference between the UK and Paris?

Direct answer. Paris is always 1 hour ahead of the UK.

Paris uses Central European Time and changes its clocks on exactly the same dates and at the same instant as the UK, because both follow the EU/UK last-Sunday rule. That makes the one-hour difference constant all year — the same is true for Berlin, Madrid, Amsterdam and Rome.

Key fact: Paris (and most of western Europe) is a constant 1 hour ahead of the UK all year, because the clocks change on the same day.
