Working across Paris and Istanbul

What Paris and Istanbul have in common is banking; that is the usual reason for a call between them. Istanbul runs 1 hour ahead of Paris.

The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–18:00 in Paris and 09:00–18:00 in Istanbul. Watch for Bastille Day (14 July) and Assumption (15 August) in Paris and Ramadan Feast (end of Ramadan, three days) and Sacrifice Feast (four days, roughly 70 days later) in Istanbul. Replies slow in Paris during August and in Istanbul during the Sacrifice Feast week.

Book between 09:00–16:00 in Paris (10:00–17:00 in Istanbul); 7 hours of overlap means neither side takes the call early or late. Only Paris changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Istanbul stays put.
