Hiya what part of france are you going as you will see when you get there that the wildlife over there is very vast and spread out everywhere.

the place i often go to is angouleme. its brillant and in the middle of no where.
Ive seen everything from smooth snakes to whip snakes
and from yellow bellied toads to palmate newts
also 7 wild hermanns weve stumbled upon in the past.

We havent found any adult fire sallies but some young aquatic ones. my grandfather was french and he used to have a massive collection of captive bred amphibs and reptiles which were wildcaught and then bred.
