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.

In the same way that they used "priorité à droite" to give priority to a
minor road that joined a major road, forcing traffic travelling at high
speed to brake to let a slow-moving tractor pull out in front. I wonder what
the French road safety rule-makers were smoking when they came up with that
rule!
