Err, not sure that you're correct there. I think prioritie a droite (which was a bloody stupid rule - you're right) was abolished some years ago in MOST cases, esp roundabouts. You will know this now when you approach a roundabout where it will say "Vous n'avez la prioritie" or some such. HOWEVER, it does still apply in some cases, worryingly some minor roads entering onto a major road, as I discovered on our summer hols this year when a Poogeot 205 shot out in front of us. I'm buggered if I know how to tell which do have priorite a droit though, so not much help.
All I can offer you is to do what I do, take it slow, look all around, and if in doubt, stop.
Good luck.

PS if you're a member of the RAC maybe they can advise? Or is that one of the "services" that has gone out of the window in the rush to garb cash from the customer...?
