There no need to bring dollars to Paris in order to change them into euros – so do not do it. Bureaux de change offer poor exchange rates and charge exorbitant fees. Many Paris banks will exchange currency (ie, cash) only for their own customers.
Where is it best to exchange dollars for euros?
Your bank or credit union is almost always the best place to exchange currency.
- Before your trip, exchange money at your bank or credit union.
- Once you’re abroad, use your financial institution’s ATMs, if possible.
- After you’re home, see if your bank or credit union will buy back the foreign currency.
Where can I exchange currency in France?
It is no longer possible to exchange foreign currency notes in banks in France. The only places that exchange foreign banknotes are bureaux-de-change which can be found in large cities. But be wary of these foreign exchange kiosks in ports, airports, on ferries and other traveller-oriented locations.
What is the easiest way to convert dollars to euros?

Is it better to exchange money at home or at your destination?
Generally speaking, exchanging your money in the country of destination would give you a more favorable exchange rate. But you still need to consider factors like the country you are traveling to and the currency you want to convert. If the currency is common, then the exchange rate will be cheaper.
Many Paris banks will exchange currency (ie, cash) only for their own customers.
