Well, only if you're slightly unlucky - it's hardly rare to go to Calais or Le Touquet and have nobody wanting to see your passport at either end. But this is not guaranteed, so do try to remember to take the passports.
I once had to present my passport on
leaving Le Touquet. But I observed another pilot say to the policeman "sorry mate, I left my passport in the aircraft, OK if I go and fetch it?". The policeman said yes ... and the pilot went to his aircraft, took off, and flew home.
