Default Will a 16 amp MCB give similar protection to a 13 amp fuse?

Short answer, I would use a 10A MCB rather than a 16.
That will let you draw 15A pretty much indefinitely.

French regs allow up to 5 sockets on a radial 10A circuit
and up to 8 per 16A circuit, but never any advice about max
no of trailing sockets or adapters

That's a useful guideline to throw into the mix, thank you.
