IPv4 route from my ISP seems odd

[jblanel]

Hello,
I noticed since a few weeks that my tunnel is getting really slow, and it seems to be because of the ping time to the endpoint :

PING 216.66.84.42 (216.66.84.42) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 216.66.84.42: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=147 ms

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 147.479/150.117/155.670/3.318 ms

Going from France to France, seems a bit long, if I compare to a ping to google (for instance) :
PING www.google.com (216.58.206.228) 56(84) bytes of data.

Though I tracerouted it and got a crazy thing :

The peering between my ISP (in France) and he (with whom I am connected in France) seems to be in the US. So the packets are going to the US and coming back !

Isn't there any route announcement issue ?

Thanks for your help !
