What's this French bug please OcUK?

[Participant]

We're in S. France (Tarn-et-Garonne) and these lovely creatures keep crawling up / jumping on us and having a good knaw.



I'm posting because apart from ticks and bed bugs, I've only ever know flying insects to eat / attack me in Europe, whereas these beasts don't seem to fly.

They sort of look like bed bugs, but are too big at roughly 1cm in length.
