Camping Gaz (Bleuet) is owned by Coleman (for several years now). Coleman imports the current versions of the Bleuet stoves, lanterns, and other gear, so you might be able to get the gaskets from them. Since I will be at the Outdoor Retailer Show next week (as will Alicia), I will try to ask at Coleman's booth (Alicia, remind me when we run into each other).

Failing that, a friend told me he had rummaged through the plumbing supplies and found a faucet washer that was the right size. I don't know the size, though. Looking at one, it is a different shape than the faucet washers I have spares of. It has a rounded top, where the faucet washers are either flat or a truncated cone. Also, it has a flange at the base that presses under a retaining rim on the stove-top. If you try a faucet washer, you are likely to have better luck at a local plumbing shop, rather than a big box hardware/lumber/nursery/etc, or maybe even the local branch of one of the Ace or True Valu chains (their stores are basically local shops).
