During the saturday night October 30 to Sunday October 31, the French will switch to winter time. Do not be surprised but not everyone knows it yet.

Since forty-five years, the French change hours, but they continue to get lost. “I still don’t know if the time is moving or going backwards. Every time, I forget and we have to warn each other between us so as not to forget to change the hours “, explains a student. At three o’clock, it will be two o’clock and the French therefore gain an hour of sleep. The sun will rise and set earlier. On this subject, everyone has their own opinion.

“It’s going to be dark a lot earlier and it’s totally depressing. I find it ridiculous, we could stay at the same time all year round “, testifies a retiree. the The subject also divides Europeans, who fail to find a consensus between summer time and winter time. In any case, one thing is certain, people are fed up with changing the time on the dial twice a year.
