Accepted everywhere.
Look for the sign CB in green-blue Visa, MasterCard, Eurocard (Carte Bleue
network) AmEx, JCB (sometimes, and nearly always where there are tourists)
Paris:
Best rates are usually given at banks or at the American Express office
(near the Opera). The best rate you can ever find is La Banque de France,
but the line is so long that you need to change a lot of money to make
it worth. Another fair bet is Comptoir Change Opera. In Paris, there are
change offices open at any time everywhere tourists go ( bad rates, but
no commission ) Nearly every currency can be changed.
Rest of France: definitely banks. It will always be easier to change something into francs than francs into something since banks have a limited stock of foreign currency.
