- Wednesday, November 11, 2026 — Armistice Day — Paris is off, Mexico City is working.
- Monday, November 16, 2026 — Revolution Day — Mexico City is off, Paris is working.
- Friday, December 25, 2026 — Christmas Day and Christmas Day; both cities are off.
With 1 shared working hours, Mexico City and Paris can run standing meetings without anyone giving up an evening — as long as the slot sits inside that window on both sides of the next clock change.
Sending a booking link avoids the arithmetic entirely: each side picks a time in their own zone and both calendars get the correct local time, including after a daylight-saving change. See how LemCall handles cross-timezone bookings.
