Having just got back from the chateaux of our very own Big Mac I have a little recent experience but it depends where you are going as some countries change the rules slightly.
For France though I have some information. You should take the following with you.
Insurance certificate
V5 document (log book)
Driving licence (both parts)
Headlamps should have deflectors fitted to stop the light "kicking up" to teh left though most never bother
Spare bulb kit
Spare glasses (if you wear them whilst riding)
Breathalyser (from 1st July) - Yes it does say breathalyser but you can buy these on the ferry or in a supermarket when you get there for a couple of Euros apaprently.
Hi-Viz for if you break down on the motorway (needs to be easy to get to)
Lots of cash (or a cash card) to pay the on the spot fines
GB sticker or number plate with teh GB bit on it.
