I’m fecked for going to France if I can’t get one
Time for a stupid Q, why, is their something special I don't know about this reel ?
To my knowledge the line guard only prevents line going behind the spool (and that doesn't always work), and that can be prevented by careful use, can't it 
Either way, there's a pair on Ebay, push comes to shove, also 1 with a broken guard too, if they're the same reels.

if its going to jeopardise or ruin a France trip you can pick the 1400 xtd second hand for 80 quid if you look around, surely 160 to salvage a good France trip is worth it

See if any of the other ultegra or techniums are compatible.

Absolutely no luck anywhere
I was hoping someone here had a broken reel with 1 on

Try The Tackle Box (Dartford) they had a 5500xtd line guard when everyone else was out of stock.

I had one break on one of my old XTC's. I took it into Johnson Ross & they compared it to some that they had. Turns out it was one of the Technium line guards that fitted. Might be worth looking at those. Good luck.

They are interchangeable between some models, if you know anyone with different reels it’s well worth seeing if they’ll fit your XTD
