best card for using in france?

Going to France for our holidays this year and want to make sure we have the best credit card for using in France. We will probably pay most, if not all off the card when we get back home and just wondered which card gives the best exchange rates for buying stuff like food and fuel?

Your help is much appreciated!

    When I looked into this a few months ago the best one was Halifax Clarity credit card, and pay of in full each month. Good rate, no charges plus if you use it to withdraw cash just before the statement date it works out cheaper than using Nationwide debit card etc.
    If you also use a Halifax current account you get rewards as well, but check the rules for this.

    This is a regular question. Take a look at MSE's very own expert advice at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money
