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

Hard to tell from the photo but maybe:

  • Nursery Web Spider
  • Giant House Spider
  • Radiated Wolf Spider

My bet is on a giant house spider. They’re massive, fast, but harmless (and are actually great with dealing with pests - I leave them be in the home).

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.
