For France you need:
advance warning triangle
High viz jacket
Alcohol test
It is only recommended to carry spare bulbs ( i guess that this prevents one from getting fined for a broken light, if you can replace it directly, given the fact that there is no EU country where more cars if broken lights drive around than France, I would not be too worried)
Cheers,

Apparently although it's law to carry a breath test kit the law to fine you for not carrying one was never enacted, not that I'd have bothered with it anyway.
