Yes, that's quite correct. From 1st July you must carry a portable one
if you are driving in France. It's NOT a joke. The fine for not having
one is 11Euro!
You can buy them at the channel ports. The good news is that they are
only a couple of pounds (limit in France is 50mg per 100ml of blood (30
lower than the UK).
You also need more than one (if you use it, you won't be legal unless
you still have an unused one in the car).
You are not required to actually use it, of course, just to have one in
the car!
