I am on continuous oxygen, currently supplied by Air Liquide. At the end of May I want to spend 5 days in Paris, travelling by Eurostar. Does any body have any practical experience of how this is done?
I had assumed there would be some reciprocal arrangement, like with the EHIC, enabling you to get oxygen delivered for a foreign holiday for free, but it seems this isn't the case at all. The Internet is awash with private companies offering to rent and sell oxygen equipment, but I don't know if it really the case that I need to buy my own oxygen - I hope not!
Please could I have any advice or practical experience please? I'm sure it shouldn't be this difficult!

I went on a river cruise near Paris this time last year.I use 6lt of oxygen when moving but not at rest.I used a contact obtained through BLF. They were quite helpful and efficient but it did cost me over £300 for 5 days.
my oxygen co. gives you a batterie operated one, it only goes to 3 but on pulse it goes to 5, so i used that and i had my old man push me in a wheel chair a lot of the places, cal your hotel they always have them and call airline they have them to, go easy not hard...
