I see on my AA Euro breakdown cover that French motorways are specifically excluded (after I pressed the online "PAY" button of course). The smallprint says it's because they are all private and you must be towed off first.

Travelling in convoy we plan on taking towropes/bars for this eventuality, but I was just wondering what the authorities charge just to tow you off??

Yes doesn't it!

I would be interested to hear if RAC/Greenflag etc have a similar gap in their cover.

From the above site: "Motorway breakdown service exclusively by approved operators, for safety reasons"...yeah right,

Just a thought, are you allowed to "tow your own" in the event of a breakdown or does that constitute an offence in their mini empires?
