Ken,
I'm going to disagree with you a bit; I checked and the temperatures in southern France, Spain, and Italy can get high enough to
need A/C in June and July.
I am familiar with Variacs we used them to regulate heat lamp output to cure 3M EC 2216 epoxy at the JSC.
The mate that built the transformer for my shop here in Sydney won't build non isolation transformers as he says they're not safe.
He's a school mate of JohnnyB; "they're built by the heathen Chinese!" ;-)

Rob,
It's been a long time since I studied or used one, but I suspect what you
really need is a variac or an autotransformer. They're variable or fixed
ratio single-winding devices. As such, they can provide up or down voltage
conversion with much less copper and iron than two-winding transformers --
but they do NOT provide input-output isolation. Seems to me that should
not be a problem, but I'd investigate European wiring standards before
following that assumption.
Amazon and eBay are full of both devices at surprisingly reasonable
prices. With little likelihood that you'll need A/C in Europe, I'd thing
3000 W would be enough, such as this offers:
