Help please, run out of calor gas in France

[TeamRienza]

If you are, or plan to be, a frequent visitor to France, I have read of people going with one Calor and one intermarche bottle. Use the intermarche bottle in France, and switch to the Calor when the intermarche bottle is empty, then revert to intermarche when exchanged. That way you are prepared for both sides of the channel with considerably cheaper gas in France. You could make that a semi permanent set up fairly easily to avoid having to change hoses etc when swopping from one bottle type to another.

Of course if you hope to spread into other countries refillable is the way to go, and you can get by with one bottle and a Calor to bridge the gap whilst seeking a top up.

Good idea I did think of that, problem I have is my gas locker will only fit 2 calor bottles I can’t get 1 intermarche and 1 calor in there together.
I’ll have to think of a plan

throw away your calor bottles , buy some off ebay or the dump when you get back
when i travel i keep a camping gaz bottle and regulator for emergency. the calor bots get dumped as soon as empty , then i buy local bots as i go

Cube

I used to use one Calor lite and one Le cube. The cube is the same base size as the Calor but square and no higher. Worked well and Le cube available at most petrol stations in propane or butane. Now gone refillable but sold the cube earlier this year!

Thanks both, if I go for Hee camper gas or le cube I’m going to need a different regulator again I’m guessing?
Pity I could fit one calor and one Intermarché bottle in the locker then I’d be sorted
