Out of curiosity, is the ticket from the French government or is it from a private debt collection agency?
Yes mate. Lovely site for that close to Calais.
I got flashed by the speed camera just down the road from there coming form the motorway to the site. I asked the lads from the site and they told me to ignore it as the police aren’t interested. Fair play they never perused me and I’ve been back 4 times since then

Sounds like the same camera hopefully.
70kph camera just on the brow of the hill
Yep. As much as possible
That's the one.
It’s from the French Government, the department of ANTAI.
looks official enough.

Had a
My Italian tolls tale (not a tall tale) was when I put my ticket in, the machine took it but did nothing as if it still wanted my ticket.
I couldn’t do anything as the barrier was down and I didn’t have a ticket as I had already put it into the machine. Eventually a lady came over in high viz and explained that I should put my ticket in the slot (like I was stupid)
She didn’t believe that I had put a ticket in so eventually we agreed that I should clear the toll and we could sort it out ‘over there’, this was when she made the mistake of opening the barrier to allow me to move the 50 or so yards.
I left at very high speed, much to the amusement of my friends who were waiting for me at the lay-bye just past the toll booth.
I was on a bike and decided that it would be best to stay away from Italy on that particular machine.

It's not enforceable, cross border agreement is for crime prevention. Speeding offences come under transport. Plus, the liability is driver not owner in France.
Ask on pepipoo that would be my only reference site on this topic.
Nice!
