Highway tolls didn't have contactless in France until 2016 at best. It's getting better now.

https://www.autoplus.fr/securite-routiere/peages-le-paiement... - only 20 contactless toll gates in all of France in 2016 (gates, not tolls).

They seem to be everywhere now.

France was the earliest adopter for chip and chip+pin, but they have been somewhat late to the contactless party (for a EU country).
