I'm not a tax lawyer, but since I don't make any money from French-EU companies probably isn't relevant to French income tax rules.

If you live and work in a place, the rule of thumb is that your earned income will be taxable there, regardless of who is paying you.

(my brief understanding is that France does have an exception for income that is sourced from the US. But this means things like investment income. Work for hire performed in France for US companies would not be attributable to the US under such a rule)

OK, yes that makes sense.

I'm more interested in the FEIE myself. I'm traveling Europe, UK, and Morocco in a motorhome, earning income from an app along the way.

I think this means that as I'm < 3 months in any one country I do not need to pay taxes in any of them. And for the US I can claim the foreign earned income exclusion as I'm out of the country > 330 days of the year.
