nectarine Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thanks, are there local branches or is this a big one in Paris? And will I have to actually go there, or post it to them? More advice, please./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyh4 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You may be too late.I seem to remember that the old currencies would be valid for a limited period of time post introduction of the Euro. IIRC in France this would be 10 years - or to put it more plainly, the OH may have missed the boatr by 13 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 [quote user="andyh4"]You may be too late.[/quote]I don't think so; the euro notes and coins were only introduced in January 2002 and, I believe, can be exchanged for up to 20 years at the Banque de France.Edit: sorry it is 10 years - see here. so February 2012.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 French franc notes, that were still in circulation when replaced by the Euro, are exchangeable at the bank until 17th February 2012. I take it that it is this type you have, not really, really old ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantpanda Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hi!Here you will find the limit dates for the different still valid Franc notes.http://www.service-public.fr/actualites/00453.htmlNow there are single shops in some towns who still take old franc notes.I do not know how they do this, but I think they do not check the notes you give them individually.Normally an Office du Tourisme should have that informationYours,giantpanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
