I have dual French/US passports and currently reside in the US with family in France. I am interested in travelling in France, Germany, Belgium, and the UK, next summer (2013). i would like to obtain a youth eurail or interrail pass. most of my travel will be in france. i read on the eurail website that it will no longer work in france in 2013?

Hi.
Interrail or Eurail depends on where you spent the past six months before you start traveling. So if you lived the past six months in the USA and can prove your residency there, you will have to travel with Eurail.
Indeed, France isn't included anymore in the Eurail SELECT Pass: [u]https://rail.cc/en/eurail-select-pass[/u]
But in my eyes it is just a normal reaction as the French SNCF is known to be the most Eurail (and Interrail) hostile company in Europe.

INTerrail is NOT valid in your ''normal ''country-it would be easy enough to buy one in FR from SNCF-but then you only get 25% off 1 return to a borderpoint. With EUrail-not all forms- you can have ''free''' (except the fees, quota and all that the state nightmare of strikehappy burocrats can think of) travel also in FR.
