I have lived in France for a while and travelled to most of the regions, both big cities and very small villages, and I have never seen a woman than doesn't shave in France. Most of the French women are very careful about their looks (trust me, if you went just to the corner shop not properly dressed in most places, wearing exercise clothes, etc., you'll get strange looks), so being unshaven would be a rather big taboo. Maybe some don't shave and cover up the areas, but you certainly won't know otherwise.
I have seen women that don't shave other countries, Germany and the Netherlands of example. I don't think have I seen it anywhere as often as in Germany. There are a lot of feminists, most of the younger women that don't shave seem to fit that group, and then there are older women (60+) that don't as well, I guess because they didn't do it when they where younger.

The answer is no. French women shave their legs and armpits.
Just so that you know, the part of France you can call Mediterranean is rather small. Just the south, south west. And yes, even there they shave. You are way more likely to see a German tourist woman with hairy legs down there than a French woman.

As you've had explained, it's in Germany that hairy women are more valued. There it's a appreciated that hairy women are generally better at the physical side of a relationship because of their higher testosterone level and the hairiest women stand a very much better chance of being able to orgasm easily and even to ejaculate. It's not at all unusual in Germany to see a woman wearing a full-blown moustache.

In many places in Europe the women don't shave at all. I know Americans are shocked by this but it's normal there. We had a German lady friend who didn't shave under her arms ever. Was strange to us, but not to her. I also have a good friend who's cousin, a woman about 55-60 doesn't shave under her arm. She lives in Memphis, TN, or did last time I heard.

You can find them in Paris too. Mainly armpits though, they tend to do the legs.
If you're interested in hairy women, go to Germany or Hungary. It's much less taboo there.

The USA culture is very self conscious and body oriented. That's why advertisers use sex to sell products. The advertisers know full well the awareness we have of our bodies in our society, so they exploit our feelings and sell us products by showing us sexy pictures or situations. As far as small French village women, they are less concerned and self conscious with the body thus they will walk around with unshaven legs and armpits.
