ATM Charges in France?

ChrisHigson

Hi, I have used this very useful website to get myself some specialised plastic (MasterCard) for my upcoming trip to Paris. As explained on the website the cheapest way for me to get foreign currency (Euros) is by withdrawing cash from an ATM when I get there with my perfect plastic rather buying currency beforehand.


My question is this, do ATMs in Paris/France charge a fee for using mastercards? I am sure some will but does anybody know of any ATMs that will be free to use please?

I can't remember ever being charged a fee by a cash machine in France.

However, ALWAYS select the option to be charged in Euros.Don't whatever you do accept their conversion to Sterling as you will be paying their rate rather than the standard MasterCard one.

Thanks, so ATMs are generally fee free in France then, similar to the UK system?
