"Changing notes of big denominations" Money Matters Tip by anoum

Money Matters, Paris: 29 reviews and 14 photos

Favorite thing: Parisians seem to use credit cards to pay for almost everything so many places do not have enough notes to give you the change if you want to pay with notes of big denominations despite the amount you may have incurred. My Parisian friend tells me she doesn't normally see notes bigger than 20 Euro. From my experience, it is possible to get notes of big denominations changed at the Post Office. You have to buy something there (in my case, I had a 500 Euro note and I bought Xmas cards that cost 6 Euro) and the person in charge will change it for you without a blink.
