Good to know about the time in French Polynesia
French Polynesia spans three time zones, with no daylight saving time: UTC−10 for Tahiti, the Society Islands, the Tuamotus and the Austral Islands; UTC−9:30 in the Marquesas, one of the few half-hour offsets; UTC−9 in the Gambier Islands.
In Papeete, it is 11 hours behind Paris in January and 12 hours behind in July: when people get up in Tahiti, it is already late afternoon in mainland France. France – Tahiti time difference
