If you are touring France by car, you could be in for a big surprise,
specially when using one of their overpriced toll roads, and need to
pay for the toll.
The shock will not only come for the high cost of the toll, but also when you want to use your "home bank" credit card to pay for the toll, and finding out it won't work.
Basically the French want you to pay with cash, which is quite inconvenient, because it requires you to carry a large amount of cash with you, which in general is not always a safe thing to do.
France is quite different in that respect to most other countries in Europe were foreign credit cards are widely accepted with the exception of the Netherlands, where non-European credit cards are also often frowned upon.
