Default Is Radar Detector Legal in France and Belgium?

I will be driving around in an Avis rental car in France and Belgium for about two weeks in August.
My question is two-fold.
Is using Valentine One on their roads legal?
If so, would it be worthwhile driving with Valentine One or it would be more hassle than beneficial?
Thank you for your recommendations.

Traffic cameras are what will get you for speeding in Europe. I don't think they run too much if any radar here.

+1, a good nav system that tells you where the problems are is more important

Are not the cameras radar triggered?

Real radar detectors are forbidden and anyway, most of speed cameras don't use the same frequences as in US.
What you can legally use is an apps you can dowload on IPhone or most Smartphones which work as a drivers network and will warn you about 'dangerous zones' !,
one of the best apps is -check www.coyotesystems.co.uk -- and this works almost everywhere in Europe
cheers

radar detectors are illegal in Belgium
if you get caught with one, you will not only get fined, but your car will be seized and scrapped ... so i would advice against it
