Good to know about the time in Switzerland
Switzerland is on the same time as France all year round: UTC+1 in winter, UTC+2 in summer. Time in Geneva · Time in Zurich
This has not always been the case: in 1978, Swiss voters rejected summer time in a referendum. In the summer of 1980, Switzerland stayed on winter time, surrounded by countries that had all put their clocks forward. It fell into line with its neighbours the following year.
