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

If it's big and in a rural French house, it's very likely a Tégénaire : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegenaria_domestica

We don't have many dangerous or even biting species of spiders.

Thank for your answer.
ITT I read that it could also be a radiated wolf spider. In any case it was big, bigger than other big a** spiders I found at this place. But what do I know, I'm definitely not a country person.

Did it show any signs of super powers?

...maybe let it bite you..?

Big nasty spiders that bite you usually give you necrosis. Does that count?
