I'll admit to doing it all the time ( so long as there's nothing too close behind of course ). I tried to find it last night without success. The closest I got was the minimum speed limit. In fact I got onto an instructional website where they actually advocated it for dense traffic.
There was a link in the earlier message on page 1 posted by rsm leading to https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/ar ... 006842314/

I made a mistake. It is vehicles entering from the slip road who must not cause a vehicle on the main road to slow down
Ce refus de priorité est constitué à partir du moment où le conducteur à l'issue de l'entrée d'autoroute, oblige un usager circulant sur l'autoroute, à ralentir ou à changer de trajectoire.
