Your bike isn't on the list of things to take, are you walking?

Oh and petrol, you'll need that too, don't buy any of that foreign muck, take a few 100 litres in metal Jerry cans. I always find a piece of flint struck against the lid is the best way to get them open!

On a serious note, do you need to take a breathalyser with you in France or is that just for cars?

The breathalyser law is still in place but the €11 fine for not carrying one has been postponed Indefinitely and the reflective clothing requirements for motorcyclists have been abolished.
