Miami is typically 6 hours behind Paris. When it's 3:00 PM in Paris, it's 9:00 AM in Miami. Both cities observe daylight saving time, though the transition dates differ slightly.
During the brief periods when the US and France change clocks on different weekends (usually in March and November), the difference can temporarily be 5 or 7 hours. For most of the year, it's a consistent 6-hour difference.
Optimal meeting window: 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM Miami time (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM Paris). This catches afternoon business hours in Paris while being morning in Miami.
Miami serves as a gateway between Europe and Latin America, with frequent business coordination between French and South American interests.
