Any screw in burner will work. Skip the Buet cartridges which once punctured must be consumed.

 

I have this one which is super lite and works great.

There is no issue with flying with any burner - just leave the cartridges at home.

 

 

I have also flown with a gas stove and bottles. Just make sure they are clean. The fuel you want in France is called "Essence C" and you buy it at a hardware store.

If not doing high altitude or cold weather camping then I like to use an alcohol stove in france. The fuel is available in any grocery or small epicerie in the cleaning section (L'alcool à brûler). Easy to find, super cheap, the stove is easy to fly with.

The screwin canisters are pretty easy to find in france (nor really most any popular mountain destination in the world) and flying with a stove in checked bag isn't a problem at all so whatever the screwin stove of your persuasion is. On the small/light/cheap front a Pocket Rocket or a Snowpeak Gigapower
