Yes these are part of your ememrgency kit that they expect you to carry.
Do not wave at passing bikers. The French rule is you can't take your hands off your bars. You can get stopped for it, stick your leg out instead, that goes for the car drivers that give way or let you ride past them. Car drivers will drive into a grass verge practically to let a bike past. They will also occasionall hover over a white line on a peage too (if only two lanes) to create an imaginary 3rd lane to let you past. Most French are rather courteous to bikers.
Look out for a friendly tip off from cars flicking their lights for up coming gendarmes hidden in bushes, they do have their favourite hotspots to eat their donuts in
its usually because they are doing the rounds with the speed gun
