You might consider putting your money into a Revolut account. It's an online account run via your phone and offers best exchange rates and a card. But no cheque services. All the French banks I've seen are rubbish and charge you for nothing. Read More

mousemac

I like Google Maps because I can see the route, as opposed to GPS systems that only tell you what to do next. But Google Maps recently landed us twice in the back of beyond - once in town and the other time in the mountains - in two days. We now ... Read More

Somebody said that it's not constructive to share bad experiences. I beg to differ. Everyone needs to be aware that France is not a service-led country; that way, we know that what seems like rudeness is not personally directed - and not even ... Read More
