Unless you want to keep changing regulators, it looks as if you'll be limited in choice to Campingaz (Calor not available in France), so go for the largest size, 907.
If you're doing a lot of cooking you may well need to replace it while there.

I have to agree with BoB here, I think the 907 is your only choice and would suggest you take 2 whilst abroad.  Easy enough to swap here. 

Hi Camp-cat,

 I am interested in the replies that you recieve.We are in the very same process

money is a little tight , so are we,and I am worried about space in the car for all

the bits and bobs.

We have a small calor tank for the time being got a large tank on freecycle and swopped it for a small one ,only paying for the gas,but despite it being a small one seems loads larger than the camping gaz cylinders we have from father-in law.We have decided to sell them on ebay ,and keep only one as they seem to last ages and (will be trying to buy a small electric hob as we have electric in for the price of the pitch)

are widley available in France and here.May even leave it abroad if we need the space for wine and other goodies.

There are 3 of us going camping in a saloon car with a borrowed roof box,gettting anxios as have not yet seen our tent ,and think we weill be pushed for room.

Thanks   Hacksaw Bob,good advise.Have been to Adinkerke in the past when i had friends who smoked,do not have any,any more.Do however have lots that drink...

we ,prior to camping have come back heavily ladeden (euro was a lot weker then)and recently did a Tesco sponserd tunnel trip for supplies.

Doubt i could persude any one to winter camp.

regards bot

floggit that price is good I had a brief internet search, but could not find any prices or gas(campinggaz)  in France looked at the Carrefour supermarket site.Have you got a link?

As you say it is available in their forecourts,but could seee nothing on the website.

regards

I think Spain is the cheapest place in Europe for Campingaz refills, for some unknown reason.
