Other
DST switch between Saturday and Sunday
During the week-end, DST ends in France (including Paris), so we'll all have 1h more to spend during the night before Sunday. (who doesn't like extra jetlag?)
In other words :
- on Saturday: France is GMT + 2 (CEST)
- on Sunday (from 3AM(CEST) 2AM(CET)): France will be GTM +1 (CET)
In practice, this means that Sunday events will start "one hour" later.
