The question every tourist asks

Should I use cash or card in Paris?

Whether you're coming from the US, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Thailand or anywhere else — the answer is the same: cash is king in Paris. Here's why, and how to get the best rate.

🚫
Airport exchange offices — avoid
CDG, Orly and Roissy exchange offices charge margins of 8–15% above the real rate. On $500, that's up to $75 wasted before you even reach Paris. Always wait and exchange in the city.
🚫
Dynamic currency conversion (DCC) — never accept
When a French ATM or shop asks "pay in USD/MXN/BRL instead of EUR?" — always say NO. DCC converts at tourist rates with a 3–8% hidden margin. Always pay in euros.
🚫
ATMs with commission fees — avoid
ATMs in Paris — including those inside French banks — always charge a spread on the exchange rate. Independent ATMs (Euronet) also add fixed fees of €3–5 per withdrawal. Exchanging cash at MoneyMo gives you a transparent, all-inclusive rate — what you see is what you receive, with no surprise deductions.
Cash is essential in Paris
Many Parisian restaurants, boulangeries, markets, cafés and small shops are cash-only or have minimum card amounts (€10–15). Having euros in hand means you can eat anywhere, buy from any vendor, tip freely and visit any market.
Your card charges you extra — always
US credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) charge 1–3% foreign transaction fees on top of the bank's exchange rate margin. On a €2,000 trip, that's €40–60 in invisible charges. At MoneyMo, the rate you see is the net amount you receive — no extra charges added on top.
The smart move: MoneyMo + Discount Card
Exchange your dollars, pesos, reals or dirhams at MoneyMo — best transparent all-inclusive rate in Paris. Get your free Discount Card for preferential rates. Walk out with euros in hand, ready to enjoy Paris without any extra charges.
We are open today 9AM – 7PM — 36 rue Rambuteau, 75003 Paris, 200m from Châtelet-Les Halles

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Currency Exchange in Paris

Where is the best place to exchange US dollars to euros in Paris? +

MoneyMo at 36 rue Rambuteau, 75003 Paris — 200 metres from Châtelet-Les Halles (RER A/B/D, Metro lines 1, 4, 7, 11 and 14). We consistently offer the best USD to EUR cash banknote rate in Paris with transparent all-inclusive pricing — no extra charges. Open Monday to Sunday, 9AM to 7PM. Our free MoneyMo Discount Card gives access to even better preferential rates.

⭐ Better than CDG airport, Gare du Nord, banks and hotels
Should I use cash or card in Paris as a tourist? +

Cash is strongly recommended for tourists visiting Paris and France. Here's why:

✔ Many Parisian restaurants, boulangeries, food markets, cafés, taxi drivers and small shops are cash-only or require a minimum of €10–15 for card payments. In Paris neighbourhoods like the Marais, Montmartre and Saint-Germain, cash gives you complete freedom.

✔ Using your US, Mexican, Brazilian, Colombian, Emirati or Saudi credit/debit card in France typically costs you 1–3% in foreign transaction fees plus the bank's unfavourable exchange rate. On a €2,000 trip, that's €40–80 in invisible fees.

Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) — when a French shop or ATM offers to convert the amount to your home currency — always say NO. This hidden trap can cost you an extra 3–8% on every transaction.

✔ The best strategy: exchange your US dollars (or Mexican pesos, Brazilian reals, Colombian pesos, UAE dirhams, Saudi riyals, Thai baht…) to euros in cash at MoneyMo — best rate in Paris, transparent all-inclusive rate — using your free MoneyMo Discount Card. You arrive in Paris with euros in hand and spend freely at any café, market or boutique without worrying about fees.

⚠ Our rates apply to cash banknotes only — not credit cards
Can I exchange Mexican pesos, Brazilian reals or Colombian pesos at MoneyMo Paris? +

Yes — MoneyMo exchanges Mexican pesos (MXN), Brazilian reals (BRL) and Colombian pesos (COP) to euros at excellent cash banknote rates, with transparent all-inclusive pricing — no extra charges.

We also exchange UAE dirhams (AED), Saudi riyals (SAR), Bahraini dinars (BHD), Thai baht (THB) and 20+ other currencies from the Gulf, Asia, Europe and the Americas.

Please note: We do not currently accept Argentine pesos (ARS) due to currency controls and liquidity restrictions.

Is it better to exchange dollars before or after arriving in Paris? +

Always exchange in Paris — never at your home bank or airport. Here's the comparison:

Your bank at home: poor exchange rate + wire or conversion fees + minimum exchange amounts.

Airport (CDG/Orly): margins of 8–15% — up to $75 lost on $500 exchanged.

ATMs in Paris: Euronet ATMs charge €3–5 per withdrawal + your bank's 1–3% foreign transaction fee.
