Glad you enjoyed it, I knew you would. French security at those type of events is always good. Sometimes you get a two part sticker, one for the bike and one for your crash helmet, so you have to exit on what you came in on. Also sometimes they'll want to see the bike switched off and restarted to ensure it's not hot wired or started with a screwdriver jammed in the ignition.

Mayenne,  right opposite the market, met some other British bikers there who were doing the Normandy beaches .

The log book thing is good. A few years ago (maybe a few more than that) there was an instance where someone was offering secure parking. All the bikes were parked (securely) in a container but by the time they came back, the container had been driven away with loads of bikes in.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I am about 10 miles north or Mayenne now having ridden my Tiger down yesterday to spend a few days in Couesmes-Vauce.
