France was less important in playing Saxon politics than Austria, but tried not to interfere with it. August II Strong established in 1700/1701 an alliance with Ludwik XIV, who wanted to have Saxony in his allies before the war (Spanish Succession).

Saxony was in the "French" anti-Austrian camp during the war on Austrian succession (1741-1748) and in 1806-1813 when she supported Napoleon, but she was usually an ally of the emperor and sought protection against Prussian ambitions but with hostile Austrians maintained good trade relations.
