Does your card work in the french automated card only pumps that you have to use outside of normal trading hours ie after saturday lunchtime on a weekend?? I have yet to get one of these to take a UK card, either credit or debit - all the brits I've spoken to on the road have had the same problem. No problem with similar pumps in other euro countries. No problem paying over the counter in french service stations.
If the french have brought their system into line with the rest of europe then it'll make life a lot easier.
I've also found Credite Agricole ATM's to be very fussy when trying to get cash.
