No, the International Date Line zig zags through the Pacific Ocean roughly along longitude 180 degrees. It is opposite the Prime Meridian (longitude 0 degrees). Paris is located at about 2 degrees E longitude, so the Prime Meridian does not run through it, but it is nearby.

Since the earth is a sphere, you always have many choices of what route to follow. In
particular, if you want to avoid the international date line, you can always head away
from it, and get to your destination via the opposite direction. Of course, in some cases,
you may have to give up the shortest route and take a longer one.
In the case of a trip from the US to France, no gyrations are required. The shortest route
from any point in the US to any point in France never comes anywhere near the international
date line.
