Oops? Isn't the minimum age to drive a car in France 18?

Your story reminds me of my daughter, driving my Carlton through France within a couple of months of passing her test - she'd only driven the Automatic once before, never driven on the right before, big car fully laden for the family holiday. Her own car was an old-style Panda.

I was very proud of her!!
