Yvelines, north-west of Paris, France.
No, it’s a cheaper model than that, 241.

Paraffin heaters are very common over here.

Castorama (French B&Q) sells great big 20 litre jerry cans of "deodorised" paraffin for them at €40.90 (so €2.045 per litre).

Nice price. I have a fair bit, hence buying the heater but if I wanted another 16l in 4l canisters it would cost £46 delivered so it’s a fair bit more expensive. It’s annoying to have to buy it online, but the only stuff in the hardware shops here is Class 2 kero and it’s certainly not for domestic.

A 20l can is £60, a lot more! Prices don’t vary much either, Dry-It-Out LTD have been superb to deal with for both the heater and the fuel. The first heater had an ignition problem and the spark wasn’t jumping across the wick. I could have easily just bent it but they said leave it and picked up and replaced the very next morning.

I get my odourless kerosene from Rye Oil. Currently £51.96 for 20lts and they do next business day delivery.

Olight Oclip.
Attached it to my edc-bag. There is a small pen slot on the end of the bag, perfect for a small flashlight with a clip.
This way, if I need light right now, there is no need to search in the bag. Just push the light switch.
I carry the bag on my left side so the light is pointing forward.
