    Unless you paid for full cover or it's included in your policy for your trip to France you only have the legal minimum, which is 3rd party, which means you are only insured for any damage/injuries you cause to a 3rd party not for any damage to your car. So no, your insurers won't pay out.

    Am I right in assuming it works both way -he was fully insured green card et al, and therefore is insured for my losses ?

    Yes, you are the 3rd party on his insurance.
