I normally carry a VFR chart in the USA, just because I happen to have one. I normally make sure I had the destination terminal / sectional chart with me just in case but seeing as I normally fly G1000 equipped aeroplanes there, there is no requirement to and I rarely look at them.
No idea about Eurocontrol, other than when we used to fly around Europe in the King Airs we never had VFR charts (apart from a UK one - but some of the legs were done VFR - repositioning and all that). I doubt RyanAir carry them in the cockpit
Probably not a bad idea though if you happen to have one or have room for one.
