I'm ashamed to say I failed to buy snow chains at Halfords or any one of a dozen motorway pit stops in France.
Apparently Citroen wheels are just too obscure and bespoke for everyone :roll:
I'll try again, before I leave...
I've got the coolant and screenwash though...in the boot!
Driving: kit?

You should have no problem getting chains for Citroen, most snow chains are a type of universal, one chain fits several size of Tyre.
As long as you pump some of the good stuff up into the hoses/nozzles. That's where it freezes up badly.

Snowchains.co uk have Weissenfels Clack and Go snowchains (about the best mid price range chain) in stock in that size.

Hi, sure but we're en France now. It seems they are the more expensive size too.
BTW we hired a car last year for two weeks and it had none of our problems;
Mirrors frozen unable to open
Handles and door frames frozen
If only the deicing spray had survived the wife's car loading :p
There was space available so I've emptied half of large cannisters of low temp screenwash and coolant into it. Overnight we're hitting -12*C on Sunday, so I'll fire it up on Monday just to see if it's alive.
I've got the wipers up and sweeping off the snow daily so it doesn't collapse under the weight. ;)
