Just to demonstrate that foreign-registered cars no longer get away
with speeding on the French roads, last weekend's figures just
released for the A64 motorway on the way to the Spanish border showed
(in a 110 kph limit area):

164 speeding violations in total, including 96 foreign-registered
cars, mainly Spanish tourists on their way home from a skiing holiday.

Those driving around 150/160 kph received fines of 750 euros payable
on the spot, licence confiscated, car immobilised until a replacement
driver is provided, plus a summons to appear in court.
