Phone Cards in France

Hi all,
I am going to France this summer and won't have access to a landline and my mobi will be very expensive.

Can amyone recommend the cheapest way to call home ? I was thinking I would have to buy some sort of phone card to use in a public phone. All suggestions welcome

Thanks

    Hi, When in France inNovember I just bought a E10 phone card from a Tabac and used that - just slide it into the public phone and dial the no - lasted ages too. Did the same in Oz a few years ago and couldn't believe how long they lasted.
