one of the things about registrations in Europe is that you can quite often tell when and where a vehicle was first registered by the number plate, france is broken up into 90-something areas each given a number for registration plates so the two numbers on the plate tell you where it was registered, the rest tells you what year and what number, however once the plate is issued it is very rarely changed so yes it was registered in the Alpes-Maritimes it doesnt mean its stayed there ever since.
