It's very hard to have Euros in France, here we use Dollar now :mrgreen: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:wink:
In France ATM give no :note-5: , and only CIC ATMs and sometimes Crédit Mutuel ATM give choice in notes...
All others ATM don't give choice or little choice.

Good luck !

My experiences:

* Crédit Agricole ATMs let you decide for 3x :note-10: or 1x :note-20: + 1x :note-10: if you enter a manual request of €30.
* I was in Amiens 2 years ago and if I remember correctly, the HSBC ATM let me specify what I wanted. Of course, this information can be outdated. There are not many HSBC ATM's around, I haven't tried it since then.
* With my Belgian and Dutch debit-card no extra charges are added.

Marcell 747 told me one time: use always 5 Euro notes to pay. Most cashier will ask if you have more. So you can get at least some 20 or 50 :)

So i will bring some bunches of registered :note-5: to France this summer for exchange and payments.

Maybe some of you are lucky to find a few of them later.
