What time zone is Lyon in?
Local time here is CEST, which sits 2 hours ahead of UTC, written UTC+02:00. The canonical zone name is Europe/Paris, and that is what to pick from a time zone dropdown.
This zone does shift. On Sunday, 25 October 2026 the clocks go back 1 hour and Lyon moves to CET, so anything booked across that date needs checking.
