This is a commercial site with product for sale. I do not endorse nor am I affiliated with this site. It does however have a sheet that may answer your question.

so, AUSTRALIA opens at 3pm(pacific time) and Japan opens 4pm(pacific time) on sunday, so AUD/JPY is the best to trade on sunday...

am I correct?

but when does the european session open
Which Session? Stock Market? DAX? {German Version of S&P 500} or the Fx Session?

So far I have never been told that because I reside in North America, I am barred from Trading the European Session. By that I mean to say that {as an example} the European Fx Session is Open 24,6.
If you get my drift. The Question might be "When are the European Traders Awake & Active?"

The european session for the forex is open 24/7, but the traders the trade this market awake at 3 am to 12 pm. these are the best hours to trade this currency. Its why I don't sleep at night.

Banking hours in Paris are usually from 10.00am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday. Throughout the rest of France, banks are usually open from 10am to 1pm, and 3pm to 5pm, Tuesday to Saturday. Banks often close earlier the day before a public holiday.
These hours are not the hours for FX European Open but thay are what yoiu asked. Go to the website in Bemacs first post to this thread. It has the info you are looking for. The website keys off of your local time.

Nippon makes course at 9-10 in the mornings. It is 19-20 of NY time. However, Japan has definite inclination to interventions at any time.

GBP, EUR could strike at any time too, if they need it badly.
