That's because the rule was changed some years ago. Before then
"priorité à droite" used to apply to roundabouts, giving joining traffic
the priority.

As we still do in many places in Spain. It's rule 91 of the Spanish
Highway Code (yes, we do have one!)

Give way to the right
======================

The right of way is determined by signs, and in their absence, give
way to vehicles coming from your right, except:

Those on a metalled road have priority over those on an unmade road.

Vehicles which travel on rails always have priority over all other
users.

At roundabouts, vehicles already on the roundabout have priority
over those entering it.

Vehicles already on a motorway have priority over those joining it.


The ballet dance at unsignposted crossroads cannot be explained in
words. A diagram is at.
