Paris to Buenos Aires Meeting Time & Timezone Overlap

Paris–Buenos Aires working-hour overlap window

The shared working window is 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM in Paris (Europe/Paris), which lines up with 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM in Buenos Aires (America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires).

Hour-by-hour: Paris vs Buenos Aires

Daylight saving advisory

Paris observes daylight saving time; Buenos Aires does not. The effective time difference between the two cities therefore shifts by one hour twice a year. In 2026, the change dates that matter for this pair are:

• Spring shift in Paris — last Sunday of March (Europe) or second Sunday of March (North America)
• Autumn shift in Paris — last Sunday of October (Europe) or first Sunday of November (North America)

If you book a recurring meeting that already sits at the edge of the overlap window, expect it to drop out for roughly four weeks each spring and autumn when the windows realign.

Standard business hours in Paris run 9:00–18:00 local time, with the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. In Buenos Aires, standard hours are 9:00–18:00 with the weekend on Saturday and Sunday.
