Use ATMs from major banks (BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole) in the city centre for the best rates; avoid airport and tourist bureau exchange desks—they charge poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and cafés; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) work fine; some small bakeries and markets may prefer cash.
Tipping is not expected; service is included in the price. For good service, leave small change (€1–2) or round up the bill. Taxis and hotel staff appreciate a euro or two for help with bags.
