Be Careful in France - They are really clamping down.
Last year my bother got caught doing 100mph in a 60 zone, and it ended up costing him approx 4000 euro, and his pride and joy impounded for nearly 12 months, and 2 visits to a court. Plus the loss of the use of the car over what was supposed to be a petrol head driving weekend. And if as a group we didn't stump up 1400 euro in cash on the spot, he would have gone to jail there and then.
So be warned - Things can get a little more nasty than a slapped wrist and a modest on the spot fine.
