If anything people had bigger families in the past but somehow the capacity per car weight has gone down significantly, both for people and cargo.

Last time I was in France (4 years ago, before Covid) it was not uncommon to see families with 3 children, so I don't know... maybe there are not that many in Paris...

The current fertility rate for France in 2024 is 1.847 births per woman, a 0.05% decline from 2023

Sounds about right. Western and Central Europe is aging rapidly. I doubt Paris is much of an exception to that rule.
