The below items are linked for your convenience and for easier searching.

• First Aid Kit (comprehensive)
• Spare Bulb Kit (bulbs for all the lights on the car)
• Breathalysers (necessary in France)
• GB Sticker on the rear of the vehicle
• Headlamp Deflectors
• Warning Triangle (sometimes two, depending on country)
• Fluorescent Jackets (one per passenger and packed within the car so as accessible)
• Vehicle Documents (Insurance, MOT, Registration Documents)
• Driving Licence(s)

Other items that you may wish to take with you:

• Spare Key, it's no good being left at home! Best to give to a passenger.
• Dash Cam (plenty of false claims occurring on the continent)
• Sat Nav (no speed camera location software to be used in France)
• Games and entertainment for the Kids
• Food and Drink, although the motorway services are of a high standard and are generally quite reasonable costs.
• Change (coins of the local currency) are needed for the Toilets in motorway services - HINT: some toilet turnstiles issue an entry ticket which can be redeemed at the shop checkout for the full amount paid
