Why France Has 12 Time Zones

France does have 12 time zones in its overseas territories, which span the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. These time zones are necessary due to the geographic spread of France's overseas territories, which are located in different parts of the world and have different relationships with neighboring countries and time zones.

The 12 time zones in France's overseas territories are:

French Guiana Time (GFT)
Atlantic Time (AT)
Eastern Greenland Time (EGT)
Western Greenland Time (WGT)
Azores Time (AZOT)
Cape Verde Time (CVT)

This is dvmb. It’s definitely Russia.. You’re just counting French territories. So if I point to the island territory and say this is “new Caledonia” you’re gonna tell me no that’s France? Get real
