You mean it's 093429 local time in France?

That means that 073429 is UTC.

I don't know how to ask a DateTime to change to the local timezone, but 
I can do it with Time:

>> require 'time'
=> true
>> time = Time.parse('2010-06-12T07:34:29Z')
=> Sat Jun 12 07:34:29 UTC 2010
>> time.to_s
=> "Sat Jun 12 07:34:29 UTC 2010"
>> time.getlocal
=> Sat Jun 12 08:34:29 +0100 2010
