Combine mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons tarragon vinegar and dried tarragon in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

Preheat rangetop grill on high for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the vegetables in a zip-top plastic bag or large baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1/4 cup tarragon vinegar.

When grill is preheated, reduce heat to medium. Place vegetables on the grill and cook for 5 minutes per side. Reduce grill heat to medium-low. Brush French bread slices with olive oil and grill 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
