Does the Paris Metro or transport in the metropolitan area have any
Oyster-type system or are they still operating on those tiny strips with the
magnetic strip?

I visited Paris in 2000 and it appeared then that they were in the process
of, or preparing to, set up such a system.

If you mean the Métro in Paris, they don't have ticket gates on the exits,
so there is no need to have a human presence to ensure that people can get
out of a station. But you may well be right about health & safety rules
being less stringent in France.
