Get in touch with the French Union. There have been major changes in legislation recently, basically within the EU you now are based from a tax point of view wherever you start your duty, irrespective of what your contract says.
This has lead to the closure of the Paris "base" by Cathay Pacific for example.
I personally do not mind open skies for pilots, but as long as European pilots are not allowed to work in the U.S. we should not allow US pilots to work in Europe.
