[quote=Anonymous]We've relocated to and travel a lot in Europe, but still use US credit cards and bank for most money needs. You should be fine in most major French cities to use credit cards and atms. Are you renting an apt? They often ask for payment in cash, so I would convert enough to cover that + 500 or so from your credit union to start with. If you're primarily going to be in small towns, many smaller shops/farmers markets etc will want cash only. If you're renting a car, be careful of gas stations, as your US credit card may not be accepted - you will have to prepay. I had my card eaten by a Paris ATM too, but that was 10yrs ago and was able to speak with the branch manager and convince her to open up the machine and give it back to me since I was flying out the next day. Thank goodness it was a bank ATM and not a freestanding one in a store/street.[/quote]
