Do you have to cross the international date line to get France from US?
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.
What are the countries that lie near the international date line?
The International Date Line (IDL) passes through the middle of the Pacific Ocean, roughly following the 180° longitude but deviating to pass around some territories and island groups (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, etc). The line deviates from a straight line to keep it from passing through countries such as the USA (Alaska), Russia (Wrangel Island and Chukchi Peninsula), or New Zealand, and island nations such as the Marshall Islands and the Aleutian Islands. This makes all of Russia territory to the west of the IDL and all of the USA to the east.

What is the international date line degree?
The International Date Line generally follows the "anti-meridian" at 180 degrees of longitude. However, it deviates east and west in a very political fashion, to keep most of the islands near the 180 mark in the same day. So around the Aleutian islands of Alaska, the International Date Line cuts way over to the west, to keep all of the Aleutian Islands on the same day.
What are the advantages of international dateline?
The International Date Line is an imaginary line of longitude which divides Earth into two days. Crossing the International Date Line east results in a day subtracted and crossing it west results in a day added. This is where the calendar day resets.
