Wrong it is also motorcycles, I'll dig the legislation out when I've got a minute.
From that website
The cycles, the two motorized wheels, the vehicles to three wheels and quadricycles to non designed motor are not subjected to this obligation. Nevertheless, any driver or passenger of a cycle is subjected to the obligation to carry a vest of high visibility out town, the night and the day when visibility is insufficient., any driver or passenger of a cycle is subjected to the obligation to carry a vest of high visibility out town, the night and the day when visibility is insufficient.
Oh jeez, in English that would be the semantics of if its poor visibility ie fog..at 100m
Sorry but you are incorrect.
Cependant, tout conducteur ou passager d’un cycle est soumis à l’obligation de porter un gilet de haute visibilité hors agglomération, la nuit et le jour lorsque la visibilité est insuffisante.
conducteur in context with the paragraph = driver
cycle in context with the paragraph = cyclomoteurs
cycle (english) = velo (french)
Now now you two, play nicely as we are all on the same side...doh
I had to check I wasn't in the 1200 section when I read this thread

Je suis navré qu'on ne s'accorde pas mon vieux mais je suis persuadé que dans tous les documents de ce genre 'cycle' veut dire 'vélo' - notez que le mot 'vélo' n'apparrait point dans le texte!
Only pedal 'cyclistes' have to wear reflective jackets outside built up areas at night or in poor vis - honest - check with any 'auto-école' that does bike training.
And - as you probably know - nobody does anyway because this is France we're talking about, spiritual home of the disregarded regulation!
Anywho - we have to play nice coz that scary bloke with a gun (or is just a silly hat?) said so.
