Green card is just a simple document issued by your insurance company.

You need to ditch the GB sticker and fit a UK one.

Other than that, just remember to drive on the right side of the road and be polite to our French cousins...

Thanks

Uk health card seems to equal old one. Is that right? Applied for new one. I did not realise post brexit they had agreed what appears to be a similar scheme to the old!

Mate seems to think forget the green card?

Aa says take v5 log book, insurance , hi vis jacket etc.

Most insurance companies will automatically issue a Green Card if deemed necessary for their policy and your trip, Just give them a call and they will confirm.
Vehicle docs - of course, but also keep copies - ideally on line so that if you need them you can access copies remotely
Lighting - beam correctors - are appropriately positioned gaffer tape.
UK sticker
Usual breakdown kit - warning triangle, fire extinguisher, bulb kit, Hi Viz and also for France don;t you still need 3 breathalysers? All this is usually available as a kit from the RAC or AA. I'm sure others do similar.
