If necessary, the security deposit may also be used to pay for different expenses. Virtually all security deposits are fully refunded the day of your departure unless something has been damaged. If something has been damaged or in case of repair, the villa representative will account to the client for the security deposit and refund the balance due the day of the departure or within 10 days maximum after the end of the rental.

Every business in France seems to accept credit cards as payment. It is more convenient than travelers checks or cash. Savvy travelers bring more than one major credit card, each from a different bank, because sometimes an approval for a purchase by credit card will be inexplicably denied, while a credit card from another bank is accepted for the same transaction.

You can use the local ATM for cash, "un distributeur". You will find them outside most banks and post offices. Check with your bank before you leave to see if there is an extra charge for overseas withdrawals. If you don't want to use credit, a debit card with a major credit card logo will work just as well. (Be sure to remember your PIN!)

French credit cards use a microchip. If the trade person seems to have trouble, point out the magnetic stripe and indicate that you will have to sign for the charge. Of course it is still a good idea to have some cash in the local currency.

The euro began circulation on January 1, 2002. There are 12 countries that adopted the euro: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal.
