Is jaywalking illegal in France?

Partly. Jaywalking is restricted in France. Illegal, but the fine is EUR 4 and almost never written.

Code de la route R412-34 to R412-43: must use a crossing within 50 m and obey lights; 1st-class contravention, forfeit fine EUR 4 (EUR 7 increased) per ANTAI scale. Wikipedia/press: few people are actually fined.
