I had a few more years of French than you, but I certainly experience what you're asking about. I probably didn't speak a word of French from about 1980 to 1992 (though occasionally read), yet after a few days immersed in it, in France, I didn't have much trouble with ordinary conversation. With my trusty p'tit Larrousse always along, I did fine. That's what I usually hear from other people, too, especially if they started learning a language at a fairly early age.
