I do remember some serious yards around Tours and Bordeaux
I'd forgotten about freight yards (triages)! There are, as you say, large yards at Tours (St Pierre des Corps), Dijon Perrigny, Miramas (near Marseille), La Guillotierre (Lyon), Bordeaux, Nantes Blottereau, Dunquerque Grande Synthe, Lille la Delivrance, Woippy (near Metz), Metz Sablon, Calais, Les Aubrais, Juvisy (near Paris), to name but a few. Most of these have nearby busy depots and/or stabling points.
