I understand French Douanes have (like most other Customs dept in the world) very ample powers so once they suspect something the demarkation line becomes thin... however, statistics show that thorough controls almost always led to arrest drug smugglers and the like, whatever flag they flew, whereas normal checks of foreign flag vessels never insisted on flares or the like
