Things about Guadeloupe's time.
As an overseas department of France, Guadeloupe uses Atlantic Standard Time (AST) year-round at UTC-4. It doesn’t observe daylight saving time, unlike mainland France. Because its clocks never change, the gap to Paris depends on France's daylight saving time: Guadeloupe is 5 hours behind Paris when France is on UTC+1 in winter, and 6 hours behind when France is on UTC+2 in summer.
