Hint: This country has 12 time zones in total!

France, including its overseas territories, holds the record for the most time zones of any country, spanning 12 different time zones.

While mainland France operates within the Central European Time (CET) zone, its overseas territories like French Guiana, French Polynesia, and Réunion spread across the globe, significantly increasing the number of time zones it covers.

These territories contribute to France’s unique global reach, giving it more time zones than larger nations like Russia or the United States. This global dispersion highlights France’s colonial history and the continued influence of its territories today.
