Do a search for "ATM".

By far, the best thing to do is get tons of cash and hire me to carry it for you. That way, you will always have cash without the risk of getting injured when some tries to grab it.

Other alternative is ATM, but they may not always work. Take me.

Use your ATM card to withdraw euro directly at your arrival airport.

I agree with everyone else about the ATM, that's the best way to exchange these days.

And be very wary on anyone who offers to take charge of your cash for you.

Carrying a large amount of cash is foolish. Charge as much as you can on credit cards and pull cash from ATMS for walking around money.

If by any chance you are asking a different questions - for instance - how much do I need to budget for my trip to France? - you need to give us several peices of info:

How many are you?

are you on a tour/hotels already paid for - or not?

Do you want to travel luxury or moderate or budget?

Do you plan on doing any shopping?
