Lori Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Just to add. The service-public.fr website lists these articles (laws) in English and French, so if your French is not that great, you can print out the English version. Fabulous.Once you start reading these laws, it is kind of hard to stop.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I don't thinks its strictly illegal but any cash transaction over a certain figure has to be reported to the police...its a european wide law to try and stop drug related money laundering. Consequently most people wont handle cash of that amount and hide behind the excuse of it being the law. Try depositing £6k at Barclays at home and see how long it takes before the flying squad come running in through the door!We found our bank (populaire) very easy to deal with, just pop in and they just raise a "cheque de banque" which is like a UK bankers draught.
