When you are on a Paris trip you have to be sure that you take care of your budget because the city is expensive than the rest of the places in France. You can also make use of credit cards and ATM cards when you are in Paris but make sure that you ask the owner or establishment before you buy the services or food to be on a safe side. Similarly, you must also talk to your credit card company for the charges deducted when you do withdrawal in Paris.
