> in Paris employers have to pay half your season ticket

That sounds awful - so I effectively get a paycut if I walk or ride to the office?

I don't understand how you can interpret it as either awful or a paycut if you don't take public transport...

If you buy a season ticket (at least a monthly ticket) to commute between your home and office you send a copy to HR and they have to refund you half of it.

That sounds like a massive incentive to hire very locally!

It's cheap enough that employers don't bother (and anyway it's usually not possible to...). So, no, it's not a "massive incentive".
