Is an old style green paper driving licence valid for driving on holiday (2 weeks) in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany, or do I need to get an IDP?

Yes it is legally valid, but a foreign cop might wonder what this tatty old bit of paper is, so if I was you I'd get a photocard and avoid any potential unpleasantness.
