What type of time do French people use on movie theater schedule? In France, military time (0h00 to 23h59) is used for planes, trains, cinema, museums, restaurants, stores, tour guides and t.v. schedules. This means they use a 24-hour clock, which starts at 0h00 (midnight) and ends at 23h59 (11:59 pm). -In order to convert from 12 -hour time to military time, you need to add 12 to any hour above 1 pm. Ex. 1pm = (1+12): 13h00
