Love it.
Specifically, Article 24 of the Loi 2021-1109 du 24-8-2021 states:
'Where the deceased or at least one of his children is, at the time of death, a national of a Member State of the European Union or is ordinarily resident there and where the foreign law applicable to the succession does not allow any reserved mechanism for the protection of children, each child or his heirs or successors in love may make a compensatory levy (prélèvement compensatoire) on existing property situated in France on the day of death, so as to be restored in the reserved rights granted to them by French law, within the limits thereof”

I wish they'd put a link to the original French version. |

www.actu-juridique.fr/international/droit-international-prive/la-renaissance-du-droit-de-prelevement-est-ce-bien-raisonnable/"La loi du 24 août 2021, confortant le respect des principes de la République, a complété l’article 913 du Code civil de sorte que dorénavant « lorsque le défunt ou au moins l’un de ses enfants est, au moment du décès, ressortissant d’un État membre de l’Union européenne ou y réside habituellement et lorsque la loi étrangère applicable à la succession ne permet aucun mécanisme réservataire protecteur des enfants, chaque enfant ou ses héritiers ou ses ayants-cause peuvent effectuer un prélèvement compensatoire sur les biens existants situés en France au jour du décès, de façon à être rétablis dans les droits réservataires que leur octroie la loi française" Don't ask me to explain it though  - I thought it was already the case that French property was subject to french inheritance law, regardless of the nationality of the owner, but obviously not...

No.
For several years you have been able to invoke a will under another country's jurisdiction - but French inheritance tax laws will still apply.
So you could (up to this potential change) disinherit your children under an English will (though that might well be contested) in favour of your sister in law. She however would have a stack of taxes to pay.
