Time difference Alaska

It is 10 hours with France, for most of Alaska. When it is 5pm in Paris, it is 7am in Anchorage or Juneau. This is true in winter as well as in summer, since the saving time takes place at approximately the same dates in France and in the United States (within one week). Daylight saving time is on the first Sunday in April and winter time on the last Sunday in October. The Western Aleutian Islands are located in the same time zone as Hawaii. They are therefore one hour ahead of the rest of Alaska, i.e. 11 hours ahead of France (in summer) and 12 hours ahead of France (in winter) because this area does not apply daylight saving time.
