Adhesive Tile Removal

I have a holiday mobile home in France in which last year I made the mistake of putting down some cheap self adhesive floor tiles over existing Lino.
In the warmth of sun, as the adhesive softened, they started to move about and I would now like to take them up.

What is the best way, and how do I rid the floor of old adhesive.

Blade screper or a floor scraper.
