I can't comment on Paris but here, and I suspect in other countries as
well, the law says that "thou shall not impede other traffic".

The law in most countries including Germany and France says "Do not
impede other traffic more than necessary". It has neither the
importance nor the language of the ten commandments.

The decision what is a necessary impediment and what not is up the the
decision of the driver of the slower vehicle, and he has the permission
to include in this decision whether the other traffic has a legal right
to use that road.

That is also the law throughout most of the world. While bicycles do not have right of way, they have equal right of way.
