Thanks for the citation. It agrees with TZDB's Europe/Paris except for spring 1923, where things were chaotic and I see some evidence that TZDB is right and the Annuaire is wrong. Perhaps someone who knows French could get to the bottom of what happened to Parisian clocks in spring 1923. In the meantime I adjusted comments to note the discrepancies by installing the attached proposed patches. The first proposed patch updates related commentary from Brazil's Divisão de Serviços da Hora (DISHO), which seems to have changed its name and acronym. The second proposed patch notes the spring 1923 disagreement between TZDB and the Annuaire and cites the New York Times report about Raymond Poincaré. I was surprised to see that the 2020 Annuaire is the current edition. Have they stopped publishing it?
