Maybe it's the Johnny Depp effect (French resident some of the time, where he has three places):

Close friend Johnny Depp is a godfather of Burton's son. In Burton on Burton, Depp wrote the introduction, stating, "What more can I say about him? He is a brother, a friend, my son's godfather. He is a unique and brave soul, someone that I would go to the ends of the earth for, and I know, full and well, he would do the same for me."

Maybe he'll just go from London (where he lives alternating with LA) to Paris, especially after this:

"He will lead the jury of the 63rd Cannes Film Festival"

That might be wise if he does realise this future project:

"He has also stated that there is a chance he will co-produce [with Timur Bekmambetov, who he also co-produced 9 with] the movie 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' ..."

ibid.

:-)

I wonder how long it will be before the screams of "Traitor!" are heard and he starts getting death threats from the usual US nuts.  

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Related to the Johnny Depp effect, surely, since Depp is a friend and one of his fetish actors. But more simply because his films are greatly appreciated here...

Yes, he also said:

""From the beginning of my career, I always felt a very special place in my heart (for) France," he told the crowd of journalists and fans. "Because whether or not you liked the movies, I always felt that the French were looking for the poetry, looking for the meaning, looking for the things I was trying to do."
