According to French traffic law, a high visibility vest MUST be worn when riding at night (safety standard number EN 1150 or EN 471).

I'm pretty sure the Proviz stuff is all EN471, their website seems to agree.
The PBP entry fee includes a vest that meets the standards too. Useful if you've just got the Proviz jacket as I wouldn't like to be forced to wear a jacket all night (to comply with the law) if it's too warm.
