Prax your comments on this post have been taken on-board,,
But as a frequent visitor to France I would like to get this information confirmed, one way or another,
I have and did before visiting this last trip (first trip with I1) check the internet for what UAV regulations were/are in force at this time in France,
which included your links.
Here is a google translation of your link.. http://www.developpement-durable ... oisir-aeromodelisme
Civilian drones: Leisure? model airplanes? professional activity?
April 30, 2014 (updated January 22, 2015) - TRANSPORT
To support the growth safely civilian drones in the hexagon, the DGAC has developed a flexible regulatory framework which leaves room for future developments in this sector.
The main issue of the regulation of unmanned aircraft carrying one on board (commonly known as drones, a term which however does not appear in the regulation) is to ensure the safety of other users of the airspace and flown over populations.
Two texts of 11 April 2012 defining the rules for the use of drones:
a decree on the conditions for inclusion in the airspace
an order for the design, conditions of use and capabilities required for unmanned.
Leisure or professional UAV Drone, between model aircraft and particular activity
These two texts distinguish two populations in function, not the machines themselves, but the use that is made of:
- Where such use is limited to leisure and competition, we speak of model aircraft, range in which the drones purchased in high-tech toys rays and used for pleasure or competition join the types of known and regulated aircraft since decades;
- For other uses, we speak of specific activities in a professional context, and specific provisions have been developed.
The conditions of insertion in the airspace
For model airplanes as for passenger operations, access to airspace is open below 150m (in derogation of the usual rules of the air, that force other civil aircraft flying above this height except authorizations special). Only flights for are allowed for model aircraft.
Attention below 150 m but:
outside settlements and gatherings of people or animals;
outside areas near airfields;
and outside specifically regulated airspace contained on aeronautical charts.
The overview of agglomerations or assembly of persons is only possible under a prefectural authorization issued after consultation with the Department of Defense and the Regional Directorate of Civil Aviation.
Activities nearby aerodromes in regulated areas, or above 150m require to contact the staff of the Regional Directorate of Civil Aviation. Their authorization will be subject to frequent the establishment of a protocol with the leaders of the aerodrome or airspace area concerned. It is in this context that particular model aircraft activities can find space on general aviation airfields.
The Unmanned a drone is responsible for damage caused by the evolution of the aircraft or objects that are detached individuals and surface property (Article L.61613-2 code transport).
If the implementation of the drone was made in violation of safety rules, the penal provisions of the Transportation Code apply: maximum penalty of one year imprisonment and 75,000 euros fine (Article L.6232-4 code of transport).
Rules applicable to machines, their implementation and the skills of their unmanned
The "drone" regulation does not introduce new for model aircraft for which there are few specific requirements when the mass is less than 25 kg, a demonstration flight being demanded otherwise.
For specific activities , which are neither the time nor from competition, regulation identifies class machine based on the mass, and four types of use scenarios (for the driver or not, to a greater or lesser distance, extra-urban and rallies or not), for which limits on the masses of the machines are fixed, skills are defined for the TV pilot, and a bond is made to the operator described in a handbook of activities for the measures it takes ensure the security of goods and people on the ground and other aircraft. The cases out scenarios may be subject to authorization following the demonstration of compliance with specific safety requirements laid down by the authority based on the characteristics of the operation.
Drone and onboard camera: the protection of privacy
Once a drone is equipped with a camera, a mobile camera, a sound sensor or a geolocation device, it can potentially undermining privacy, capturing and dissemination of personal data .
The aerial photography is regulated by Article D133-10 of the Code of Civil Aviation. In compliance with its provisions, it is possible to shoot images with a model aircraft, as part of leisure or competition but limited to private purposes excluding commercial or professional commercial use. The other cases of shots must be dealt with under particular activities.
Article L226-1 of the Penal Code provides for punishment of imprisonment one year and 45 000 euros fine does, by any method, deliberately undermining the privacy of another's privacy :
By capturing, recording or transmitting, without the consent of their author, the words spoken in a private or confidential;
By fixing, recording or transmitting, without the consent of the latter, the image of a person in a private place.
Professionals: perform particular activities and experiments with a drone
Find four operational scenarios defined by the categories of UAVs.

More information on aircraft airworthiness in section Drones
and this is a Microsoft Word translation of the leaflet they are showing on that same link,,
Ensure the safety of persons and the other aircraft is your responsibility
I flies not over people I always steal my drone at a height of less than 150 m
I never lose my drone from view
I do not use my drone over the public space in built-up areas
I do not use my drone near the airfields
I overflies not sensitive sites
I don't use my drone the night
I respects the privacy other
I do not broadcast my shots without the agreement of the persons concerned and I am not a commercial use
in case of doubt, I fills me 10 principles to fly in accordance with the law
the use of a drone in operating conditions not comply with the rules laid down to ensure security is liable to
one year imprisonment and a 75,000 euro fine under article L.6232 - 4 of the code for transportation regs.
Translate these translations as you will,
But I translate them as saying as in the UK and as mentioned by talk2t, when not flying for professional/commercial gains
fly responsibly and safe, don't fly above people, don't fly over built up public area's or sensitive sites, fly within LOS, max height 150m, not near airports.
As for footage, Do not broadcast without consent from persons filmed, "which I assume as close ups, which there is none".
Going on all of this, I cannot see a problem with my footage other than the 8 gram polarized filter I was using was maybe a bit too heavy for the Inspire, lol..
And what you said, that I was flying over (or close to and unknowingly) a French commando training area..
