Thanks guys, had a look at the meteor ones, the main contractor has specified like for like, so it's got to be merlin/Schneider . The only trouble being we went to a French wholesaler yesterday for prices, admittedly they probably saw us coming lol. Got quoted €204 for a double pole 10A RCBO and €365 for a 4 pole 63A RCCB the board change came out at €2000 just for additional breakers as some of the old ones are being used thank god.

If the law in France is anything like here in Spain you should have used furrels on the new ones ! It would fail here.
