Do I need Euros for Paris?

[earlydoors42]

Going Tue to Fri next week to Paris. Do I need to take Euros or can I just pay by card or take cash out of cash machines there? One day will be at Disney, is everything payable by card there too?

Thank you! Just saw a queue at the foreign exchange place and wondered!

Taken from Martin Lewis website. Taking foreign currency is always cheaper than using your usual debit card unless it is a specialist account card. However, you might think it's worth paying extra to use your debit card for convenience abd safety. Anyway, I hope this helps.

Ultimately, when abroad you want to pay for only what you buy, yet by doing it the wrong way many also pay for paying, too. Here's how much spending €1,000 can cost, in pounds using each of the different methods (we assumed five €100 cash withdrawals and 20 transactions of €25 each on the cards).

Top specialist credit/debit card repaid in full: £818

Cash, via cheapest bureau (must pick up in London): £821

Cash from M&S on the high street: £829

Using a debit card with a spending charge: £872

Changing cash at airport (not pre-ordered): £949
