There are going to be two Time Changes in 2004:
Daylight Savings Time 2004 France
March 28, 2004
The Time Change from Winter Time to Daylight Savings Time will take place in France on March 28, 2004 at 2 in the morning. The clock jumps forward from 2 to 3 am. This means the people in France have to cope with one hour less of sleep. As another consequence it is going to be darker in the morning again.

October 31, 2004
On October 31, 2004 at 3 in the morning the clocks are changed back from Winter Time to Daylight Savings Time in France. The clocks have to be shifted from 3 to 2 am.
