Good to know about the time in Brussels
Brussels is on the same time as Paris all year round: UTC+1 at the moment, with the same clock-change dates, harmonised across the European Union.
Like France, Belgium was on Greenwich Mean Time before the Second World War; it switched to Central European Time under the German occupation, in 1940, and kept it. Daylight saving time dates
