Hi Francois, where are you located in France? My wife is French too. She came from the Loire Valley in a little village called Villiersfaux. We have been travelling to the Loire Valley for the last 25 years on holiday. I have seen many lovely classic French cars (almost bought my sister-in-law's Renault 4TL) as well as the 500s, but no 126s and Autobianchis. I think the French initiated a number of scrappage schemes through the years, many classic cars perhaps falling prey to these schemes.
