Americans in France: Tax deadlines, French summer fun, and where to buy a second home
Welcome to The Local's "Americans in France" newsletter for members, featuring all the news and practical information you need as an American resident, visitor or second-home owner in France. You can sign up to receive it directly to your inbox before we publish it online via the link below. Dear Americans in France, Les grandes vacances (or the summer school holidays) are fast approaching in France. While this means that summer fun is on the horizon and French tax season is over, don't forget that the IRS gives Americans living overseas an automatic extension until June 15th to file their US tax return. You can request an additional extension to October 15th if you need it. If you are worried you filed your US and French taxes in the wrong order - do not fear. Tax expert Jonathan Hadida has some advice for those who find themselves in this situation. Advertisement Away from taxes and onto the beach! I have a couple of tips for how to maximise your summer holidays in France. My first piece of advice is to look into the SNCF special annual holiday discount plan . Basically, this allows people to get a one-time 25 percent discount on train tickets. The idea is to help you pay for summer travel, and it's available to everyone; you just have to be willing to sit down and apply for it in advance. If you can't swing it this year, it's worth adding to your to-do list for summer 2026. My second tip is to do summer like the French, and by that I mean, enjoy the seasonal festivals . Summer truly is festival season here in France, and as early as June, you have some of the best (free) events like Nuit Blanche in Paris (where museums and cultural centres stay open all night) and Fête de la Musique, where every French town turns into a concert venue. My third tip is to check out your local municipal pool. I cannot speak for the entirety of France, but my experience with municipal pools in western France and Paris has been fantastic. I am consistently amazed by how affordable, well-kept, and clean the swimming pools are. I'll be spending a few weeks in Maryland this summer, and I was shocked to see the entry prices for municipal pools. Safe to say it was much more than the €3.50 I am used to paying in Paris. If you are feeling brave, you might consider jumping into the Seine this summer (in one of the three dedicated swim areas , of course). Here at The Local, we have been busy introducing two new series. The first is on buying a second home in France . I spoke with real estate experts and readers to put together seven articles covering everything you need to know about buying your dream French house/apartment, whether that is in Paris, Brittany, the south-west or the Riviera. Advertisement One of the real estate experts I spoke with - Alexander Kraft, the chairman and CEO of Sotheby's International Realty for France and Monaco - had noticed some recent trends in the French property market . He said that he has seen "more American buyers in the last six months than in the past five years", and interestingly, they are coming from both sides of the political aisle. He had some useful tips for would-be buyers and sellers. With each edition of this newsletter, I like to remind readers that we love to hear from you. You can give your best tips for other Americans in France or ask us questions via our ongoing survey . We've also tried to nail down a clear response to one reader's question about whether or not it's "legal to work remotely for US clients while residing in France on a visitor visa." I started to tackle this thorny question in the previous edition of this newsletter, but since then, we have received more clarification. Confusingly, the 'visitor' status requires people to promise they will not 'work in France', but the meaning of 'work in France' has been up for debate amongst legal experts. Advertisement We can now say with confidence that both French tax and social security authorities consider any work done on French soil to be income earned in France. We'll continue trying to untangle this web, so you can keep an eye out for the rest of the series in our ' Remote working in France' section . Another point I've noticed readers mention over the years is the idea that France still has 'the Napoleonic code in force '. This sounds quite draconian and startling, but in reality, it may not be as shocking as it sounds. And finally, if you don't have a summer of French fun planned, you can still live French culture via French cinema. I tried to put together a list of the French films that are most popular with Americans, but I was surprised to find the category of 'French film' to be broader than I was expecting. By some metrics, the best 'French films' are those belonging to a certain Liam Neeson thriller franchise. Thanks for reading, and as always, you can reach me at

What to expect from strike action in France this week
France's prominent CGT union has called for two strike days this week, with the first scheduled for Wednesday and the second for Thursday, just ahead of another long holiday weekend in France for Whit Monday ( Pentecôte ). READ MORE: Why do many in France work for free on Pentecost public holiday? The first call for mobilisation on Wednesday concerns train drivers, with the hope of pushing SNCF (French national rail service) management to increase bonuses. The second day of strike action is part of a larger 'general' strike that the union is calling across sectors, including rail travel and public transportation. The CGT union urged workers in both public and private sector jobs to walk out on Thursday "for our pensions, our jobs, and our salaries". In their press release, the union demanded higher wages, a lower cost of living, as well as a continued show of opposition to the 2023 pension reform and more recent plans to scrap the 10 percent tax credit that French pensioners are entitled to. How much disruption should people expect? Both days of strike action have only been called by the CGT union, without support from the other main workers' unions. While the CGT union is the leading representative for train drivers at SNCF, walkouts are unlikely to cause widespread disruption without the participation of other unions. Advertisement It remains possible that other unions could still call for strike action. The Sud Rail union and the associated ASCT Collective, which both represent railway workers, have said that they prefer "less predictable actions", but as of Tuesday morning, there was no indication of other unions joining in calls for strikes on Wednesday or Thursday. Striking railway workers must register their intent to walk out at least 48 hours in advance. As for train travel, SNCF said that they expected only "minor disruptions" for regional and local rail services on Wednesday and Thursday, BFMTV reported. Overall, the industrial action was not expected to have a major impact on traffic on Wednesday or Thursday. SNCF said they expected to see "normal traffic on the high-speed TGV and Intercités trains, as well as on most regional TER and Transilien lines". It may still be wise to check the status of your train before heading to the station, especially if you are travelling on a regional line. To do so, go to the region's TER website (usually formatted as the TER website plus the name of the region - ex. Advertisement As for Thursday - the date of the 'general' CGT strike - there may be some disruption in other sectors, such as public transport services in cities. In Paris, transport authorities have warned that traffic would be disrupted on the RER B, which is the line that connects the capital to the CDG airport. In Nice, trams and buses will not run, according to local news outlet Nice 24. Protests have been planned in dozens of cities and towns across France on Thursday. In Paris, the protest will begin at École Militaire at 2pm, while in Lyon it will start at 11am at the Place d'Arsonval. You can see a map of planned protests on the CGT website . What about future strike action? The CGT union has also called for more strike action, specifically by train conductors (ticket inspectors) on Wednesday, June 11th, to push for better pay. So far, no other unions have joined calls for strike action on this day.

French night trains break 1-million passenger barrier
'The lack of sleeping cars is preventing the creation of new national and international connections that could meet the high demand from passengers,' Réseau Action Climat said in a report published on Tuesday. But there's no denying the increasing popularity of overnight rail travel, just a decade after they all but disappeared from the timetables. Night trains in France carried one million passengers in 2024, the report found, a 26 percent jump on 2023, and more than double the number of passengers in 2019. This, the report says, is proof that night-trains can offer a viable travel solution, and one that is more environmentally friendly than flying or car use. Advertisement But the future of sleeper rail travel is hampered by the lack of trains, Réseau Action Climat – a federation of dozens of major environmental protection associations, including the World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth – warned. French rail operator SNCF currently has 129 sleeper cars, while international operators are also moving into the French market to offer overnight connections to cities including Vienna. However this is not enough to meet passenger demand, the report warned, with the Paris-Toulouse and Paris-Nice routes often overbooked. The government, which has authority over Intercités night services, launched a call for tenders in January 2025 for the purchase of 180 cars to be delivered before 2030. Réseau Action Climat recommends 'activating an optional clause in this call for tenders' to allow for the order of 340 cars in total. Réseau Action Climat goes further, and recommends a fleet of 600 sleeper cars by 2035 able to carry up to 5.7 million passengers annually. The 'network effect' would reduce the cost per passenger and improve the viability of overnight rail travel, which SNCF currently operates at a loss. According to the report, 'increasing the number of night trains in circulation allows for considerable economies of scale [with] shared maintenance, optimised connections, and better knowledge of the service by users...' Increasing the number of routes, as well as services will also improve take-up, the report said. Currently all night trains operating in France set off or arrive in Paris; there are no direct sleeper trains between Marseille-Nantes, Bordeaux-Lyon and Lille-Nice routes, the report notes, which encourages travellers 'to fly, or make costly connections'. It also recommends cross-border overnight services between Paris-Madrid, Paris-Barcelona, Paris-Milan, Paris-Rome, Nice-London, and Paris-Venice. Advertisement A Zurich-Barcelona route, via Lyon, which had been set to start in December 2024 by Austrian railways (ÖBB), has been postponed indefinitely. Private operator European Sleeper is reportedly considering a connection to Barcelona from Brussels, but no launch date has been set due to technical and administrative constraints. 'Over the past two years, one in six night trains [has been] cancelled due to night-time track work. On some routes, such as Paris-Briançon and Paris-Tarbes, this figure rises to one in three,' the report points out. This, it said, means passengers are opting for other modes of transport, taking replacement buses, or giving up their journey. To avoid undermining the appeal of night services, Réseau Action Climat suggests alternative routes, carrying out work on a single track, or even reducing the hours during which work is carried out to allow trains to pass.
