A Seasonal Change
The weekend coming - the last weekend of October - sees the official end of Summer Time (or Daylight Savings Time) in France and throughout the European Union - and, in fact, much of the rest of those parts of the world that practise daylight saving.
Clocking in
This means that in the small hours of Sunday morning, October 29th, the clocks will go BACK by one hour. The mornings will be lighter from next week, but the evenings will really start to "draw in" - time to get the fire blazing and some chestnuts roasting, perhaps?
For more on Summer Time (and a handy table listing the dates on which other countries change their clocks - invaluable if you're doing cross-border business) see AngloINFO's INFOrmation Page on Daylight Savings Time.
Be aware that many modern electrical appliances (satellite receiver boxes and computers, for example) will automatically update themselves - there's no need to change them manually. Older and simpler equipment, however, will need to be set back by one hour.
