For you guys who have been to Paris, what did you find the most effective way to get cash? I bank with Chase, and I don't think they have Chase ATMs there. My guess is that I can use my Chase ATM card at any ATM machine, but that I'll have to pay a pretty penny in fees.
Also, did any of you purchase Euros before you left to try to obviate having to pay the ATM withdrawal ees?
Finally, did you use cash or your (Visa) credit card more? I'm hoping that France is like the United States, i.e., you can use your credit card almost anywhere.
