Campingaz is availeble all arround europe , there's info on thiere website with a map where dealers are pointed out.
But you would need to use a lot of gas or have a very long trip to empty a 904 or 907 botlle.
Lots of people shared experience if you read some stories on the forum regarding gas-usage and availebility in europe, give away where you are heading might help

907 Campingaz refills are either unavailable or difficult to find in the Nordic countries, the Baltic States, Poland and the Balkans. You should have little difficulty finding refills in Western Europe.

Expect a full 907 bottle to last 3-5 weeks of intensive use for a family of four. We used 13 bottles (counting a 909 bottle as 2 x 907 bottles) over a year touring Europe cooking with gas ~80% of meals.

I suspect that a great many retailers, including campsites, use DIY refill methods. A genuine Campingaz refill bottle should look in pristine condition with a plastic gauze around it to protect against paint chips.

Camping GAZ 907 was €25.49 at Leroy Merlin, Calais a couple of weeks ago so it will pay you to buy a refill outside England. It's £34.99 from Go Outdoors!!!

If you go to Leroy Merlin, Calais (next to Auchan) ask at the enquiry desk and they will get one from the warehouse as I don't think they are on display.

Most other large supermarkets stock GAZ 907s in France.
