"You do not need an IDP to drive in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein if you have a card driving licence issued in the UK.

You might need an IDP to drive in some EU countries and Norway if you have either:

a paper driving licence
a licence issued in Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle of Man"

Nonetheless, I suppose it doesn't hurt to have one..............................................?

When I was planning the trip I looked on our Gov't website which advised obtaining an IDP as there was a strong possibility that the requirement was about to be imposed on UK licence holders. The first time I went to the post office the lady said she'd run out of them as there'd been a high demand. When I returned a couple of days later she asked me which countries I was visiting and when I told her France and Germany she said I'd need one for each country so that's what I got. I can't check the differences at the mo as they're away in the motorhome but I do recall that each IDP has a different document reference.
