On a lighter note, and I agree with your intention, but I had to giggle at that sentence. ‘Blessed’ was the nearest thing my Grandma came to swearing, it was her replacement for ‘bloody’ or worse in modern parlance, indeed quite the opposite of what you mean.

If you had a french licence and lost it then yes that would be right, but if you have a non-french licence then no you get nothing to drive with until you are asked to submit your actual licence.
I don’t know, many people would describe me as that ..

i’d lost my UK licence, so had to convert to French and i downloaded an attestation cover up to a year i think for the French licence
That was a long time ago, you no longer get an attestation for a year for anything. If you lose a non-French licence you get nothing until you receive your French licence.
