    Papeete is on Tahiti Time (UTC-10) all year, with no daylight saving time. Its identifier in the international time zone database is Pacific/Tahiti: it is what your phone and computer use to show the right time there.

    With its overseas territories, France spans 12 time zones, more than any other country. Tahiti has no daylight saving time, so the gap with Paris changes by one hour when mainland France switches to summer time.
