Sorry for poor picture quality. Found in France. Never seen anything like it.

Looks like a giant house spider. Another lemming suggested a brown recluse. One is harmless, and the other can kill you. Squach it or leave it, hard to tell.

There are no Brown Recluse in France. If it is scared of you, it's a Tégénaire.

I'm half joking, cases are so rare it's a non event.
