Trangias are the old school and tried and tested cooker, I'm sure a search here or the bikepacking thread will throw up some more options. Trangias are pretty bulky too. I just like the teapot.
I'm fairly sure meths is easily acquired in France, I believe it's called alcool à bruler, but @6ot will be able to give you the details...

What stoves would people recommend?
Leaning towards a Trangia or something else that uses meths but have heard that they are slower and that meths can be hard to find in some places. Cycling through France this summer, will that be a problem there?
Are gas canisters specific to certain stoves? I have an irrational feeling they are more likely to blow up in a pannier than a meths fuel bottle is in a bottle cage.
