Default Is 99Ron readily available in France?

I have a guy coming from France in the morning to potentially buy my car and so far it is difficult trying to explain to him that it runs on 20% meth and 99Ron. I just did a google search on the fuel available in France and tbh it aint the most helpful thing
So can anyone on here tell me what the fuel situation is like over there regarding 99Ron. also what stations stock it apart from Shell?


Thank you for all advice

Not seen 99 Ron, afaik, their V-Power is 98 Ron

98 Ron available all over, only €0.02-3 more than 95 (unlike in Rip-Off UK), I use that and Octane Booster.
