If you're french with a french-plated car, you'd better pay them or they will nag you forever (additional fees each time they send a reminder -> court to finish).

Forgot to say that I was flashed a couple of times with my swiss car in France and never received a fine.

It used to be that driving a Swiss-registered car pretty much meant that you would be immune from prosecution for minor traffic offenses within the EU--unless the police pinned you down on the spot, of course. However, this changed last year to the effect that any fine above EUR 70, or thereabouts, could be enforced by the Swiss authorities (and vice versa). The operative word here is 'could', as few cases will probably merit a full-blown cross-border co-operation. However, those French parking fines have a tendency to snow-ball into a substantial amount of money fast, so it's your call...
