Motorcycle gloves in France

In short there's more to it than just having a CE mark. You need to know that it has the correct CE approval for it's use so as well as the CE mark you need to look for the correct EN number as well otherwise you may discover that your shiny new gloves are only CE approved for roller skating or something similar.

It's EN13594 for gloves. This number is equally as important as the CE mark itself.
