Seems like I also saw bayonet-based lamps used in France. Anyone know if

Lamp sales in France are nearer to a 50/50 split ES/BC than
we in the UK are, but still with BC slightly in the lead.

they are still used there (or in other parts of continental Europe)?

I don't claim to know all the rest of continental Europe, but
I believe it's mostly ES (E27).

If so, is the base size the same as the U.K. version?

Yes, B22d.

Note that European (E27) and US (E26) Edison screw fittings are
not quite the same size (the number is the screw diameter in mm).
