Open Meeting Planner →Paris is a luxury goods city and Beijing a government city; the two economies buy from each other rather than compete. The gap is 7 hours, with Beijing the one whose clock reads later — and whose date has often already turned.
The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–18:00 in Paris and 09:00–18:00 in Beijing. Watch for Bastille Day (14 July) and Assumption (15 August) in Paris and Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October) in Beijing.
The shared window is short: 09:00–10:00 Paris time, 16:00–17:00 in Beijing. Guard it for the conversations that need everyone, and let the rest happen in writing. Only Paris changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Beijing stays put.
Beijing is 7 hours ahead of Paris. The gap changes by an hour around the clock changes.
09:00–10:00 Paris time, which is 16:00–17:00 in Beijing — the 1-hour stretch when both are inside 09:00–17:00.
Both work Monday to Friday, so any weekday works — but check the date, since the day of the week can differ between the two cities at the same instant.
Not always. At 09:00 in Paris it is already the next calendar day in Beijing, so every invitation should carry the date in both cities.
