Those are very rare as most villages have been adapted to be accessible for cars. I’m just saying that stating that French villages are carfree is not true, and the average French village definitely shouldn’t be the model for bike and pedestrian friendly urban design.
Yeah sure, it's not like anyone uses their car to get from a to b inside that village, but for everything else people will use a car.
I was passing through another village where I spent holidays as a kid, cabrière d'aigues, all I remembered was the big pétanque square. Seeing it now three quarters of the space is a parking area. I don't know if I just remembered that wrong, but pretty sure there was no parking back then.
