I've seen plenty of them in France, it's actually quite common. They are called écoponts.

Very interesting

18 ecoponts in ten years: https://radio.vinci-autoroutes.com/article/le-succes-des-ecoponts-9639

Cette initiative est vraiment une nouveauté dans le paysage français, parce qu'en Europe, il y en avait déjà notamment aux Pays-Bas, en Suisse, en Autriche.

Indeed already present in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria
