France has been using the German time zone since the German occupation during WWII.
Even though Greenwich Meridian (0°) passes through the French territory, France is in the GMT+1 zone which is centered 15 degrees east (at the border between Germany and Poland).
Before World War II, France used GMT (english time) but switched to GMT+1 (german time) during occupation, and did not change back after the Liberation.
