After an official audit, there are seventeen more MX tracks in France than sticks of deodorant.

That is amazing. Great to see the French government allows motocross tracks to stay open unlike the Federal BLM and state/local municipalities here in the USA.

There's definitely way more lightly used WWII rifles than there are motocross tracks though. Fortunately they all still work because they were gently set down!

Sorry, couldn't help it!

Imagine how many tracks would be in Germany if the US hadn't stepped in to preserve Europe.

Is that public tracks? That's got to be damn near half as many as in the U.S. if not more than half.

Yes, I double checked, private tracks are not there and the list is not fully up to date, they forgot at least 2 I know of and I think 1 closed now.

These tracks are not all hard pack. Some moto club have permanent bulldozers so are more regularly grooming it although it costs a fortune, and some are more sandy, not heavy sand like in Belgium or Holland but still some good sand like the Wick Smile

Motoverte, the main French press, did a great job at compiling a top 10. Of course there are many other good tracks but this list can give you an idea about the ones that are pretty popular.
