I have a friend working in France for a software company and his contract does have something along the lines of "everything you do belongs to us".
He's not big on side projects so he never gave it much thought, but I really wonder how enforceable this would be in court.

I'm not sure if you need a lawyer for those, but it's supposed to be easy to take your employer to this court. However, even so, except in case of something pretty extreme, I'd prefer not having to deal with that. But then I guess this could be used a signal that the company is into playing games and maybe look elsewhere. Especially when they're reassuring orally but wouldn't put any change in writing.
