[quote= The only ATM difference would be the charge by the ATM bank for the use of their service ($3-$7.50) and there are a lot of cards that reimburse that fee anyway

CC charges should always be in the currency of the country you are in (euro) so, again, it will be YOUR back doing the conversion and not the merchant[/quote]

I wondered about that, too. When we go to Anse Marcel or any of the French locations, we generally use our credit cards and ask to be billed in the Euro and the charges always seem to work to our favor as opposed to accepting the Island day rates used by so many places.
