Planning a trip to France

I am planning a trip round France. I need to book several different camp sites and this will involve prepaying in Euros. Can I use something like Halifax Clarity Card to pay in Euros or would I be better using a prepaid card loaded with Euros?

I dont think I can load the Halifax card but I may be completely wrong. Any help would be great

    Halifax Clarity Card should do the job.

    Don't preload. Use for purchases. Minimise use for cash withdrawals.

    Do pay the balance in full.

    Have a backup just in case.

    Tony, When and where are you going? You may well not even need to book campsites, except at peak times in honeypot locations.

    Why do you want to load the card? Use it as intended; pay the campsites, wait for your CC statement and then pay by the due date.
