In France, Visa is the most widely accepted card, but other cards are accepted as well. Credit cards are very widely used and you can pay for just about everything with them. It helps to keep 20 euro or so on hand for small things, though.

jjaonhen, Discover Card is not accepted in Europe.

Capitalone is a good card to use, USAA even better.
