Passover has two blocks of festival days, separated by Chol HaMoed (the intermediate days, on which work is allowed): the start time is that of the first day, the end time that of the last.
The start and end times are computed for Paris. For your own city, see Shabbat times city by city: the app recomputes them at your coordinates, even offline.
