Paris follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) roughly from late March to late October. Cape Town follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) year-round and does not observe daylight saving. This means Cape Town is 1 hour ahead of Paris in winter, and at the same time as Paris in summer.
