General Information » Money » Credit Cards

While credit cards are accepted nearly everywhere, even at your larger neighbourhood fruit stands, often there is a minimum purchase requirement of around €10 to €15 in smaller shops. If your credit card is lost or stolen, or if there is fraudulent activity on it, contact the Centre Nationale d’Opposition at 08 92 70 57 05. No matter who issued your credit card, this agency should be able to help you cancel it tout de suite. Also, report it to your local Préfecture de Police as soon as possible. Most credit card companies have their own numbers to call as well so make sure you keep these details in a safe place at home.
