Restricted Driving Zones in France? Like Italy??

Not to the same degree. All throughout Europe you need to watch out for three signs. The first is a red circle with an icon of a car inside, often a car and a motorcycle. That means no entry to cars, not even a little. Also there is a rectangular sign with icons of children playing and there is a ball in the air. That means no entry unless going directly to a local address, pedestrians and children have the complete right of way and speed must be kept to a walking pace. You will also perhaps see a rectangular or round blue sign with icons or words for buses and/or taxis and/or bicycles and perhaps times of day or days. These are lanes reserved for ONLY those vehicles during the stated times. If there is no time indicated, it is always 24/7/365. These areas, especially the first and last, are often patrolled by cameras.
