Best Practices in Paris

1. Use a no-foreign-transaction-fee credit card (e.g., Chase Sapphire, Capital One, Schwab) for purchases — get near mid-market rate.
2. Withdraw EUR from ATMs (Banque Populaire, BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole, La Banque Postale) using a debit card with no ATM fees (Schwab, Wise, Revolut). Decline DCC (choose "charge in local currency").
3. Avoid airport/hotel exchange desks, street changers, and "commission-free" bureaus (they bake margin into rate).
4. Carry some cash (€50–100) for small vendors, markets, tips.
