Date and time notation in France
open-in-new
<p>France most commonly records the date using the day-month-year order with an <a href="/facts/Slash_(punctuation)/fuaRyKzc">oblique stroke or slash</a> (”/”) as the separator with numerical values, for example, 31/12/1992. The <a href="/facts/24-hour_clock/25MX89DX">24-hour clock</a> is used to express time, using the lowercase letter "h" as the separator in between hours and minutes, for example, 14 h 05. </p>
