I get mine free when I get my foreign travel insurance from the caravan club.

I tried googling camping carnet and it seems to come with some form of insurance. The information on the link above is quite good and explains why a CC would be useful.

i've been to france 6 times and never bothered with a carnet.there are loads of sites all over the place and they usually just need one passport instead of a carnet. make sure that you don't give them the one needed for cashing travellers cheques.
have loads of fun. it's a great place to just mooch about and do loads of wine tasting!!! and the road side stalls are great for fresh fruit & veg as you travel towards the next site.
