So I learned a few things during my visit to Provence.
-Traffic regulations aren't so much laws as they are guidelines. The line between the lanes is a special lane for motorcycles, every self-respecting Frenchman has at least 1 dent on their car and parking attendants probably don't even exist judging by how people park.
-The cars are tiny. Which is good since most parking tiles are just as tiny and a disturbing amount of roads that ought to be one-way, aren't.
-Speak French or stay in tourist areas, otherwise you will have a hard time.
-French restaurants aren't really any different than Swedish ones.
-Efficiency doesn't exactly seem to be highly prioritised. More on this later.
-Fucking amazing nature
