The AIP is the official reference source for UK plates. The disclaimer is a clumsy attempt at managing AIS's liability in a culture which is increasingly hamstrung by the perception of legal risk.
Jepp and Aerad base their materials on the AIP plates, so you won't go far wrong by carrying a
current print-out of the relevant plates.
French plates are available on the same basis from the French AIS. This can be found at:

For loads more AIPs and a singularly crappy Java interface, the Eurocontrol Electronic Air Data site is a must:

That should do it for you.
