I cannot comment on your specific scenario, but it does sound like a British mentality. As I said, I wasn't there but in general if it was the other way around and you were approaching him at speed I have found from my own experience that French driver would have pulled in to let you by.
It is that difference that makes travelling in France a pleasant experience for me and the family. No dick measuring just driver respect.
