i cant find my licence or insurance anywhere. had some stuff stolen from the house recently, im thinking they might have been taken with it. never thought to check before.

Shouldn't need a green card. Your drivers licence is sufficient as it's an EU one.

When i went to spain a month ago the only thing i had to show was my Passport and my Driver Licence card.

I was worried to that i need more and i couldn't find the paper part of my licence but i was ok.

You may need to have a credit card handy so that if there are any damages they will take it from that card.

Hope you have fun driving abroad like i did. I done 300 miles in one week down near Alicante. I had a 1.2 Micra but it went like stink. Especially when i redlined it all the time

Just read your post properly. Think when you go to France you are supposed to have everything if your going in your own car/bike.

You need the card and paper parts of your licence, some proof of insurance and passport obviously.
