I am curious about the prices in Euro on the French side over the past 2 years.
We are from Canada and spend most of our time on the French side.
When we were there Dec/Jan 2013/14, it took 1.06 CAD to get 1 USD. At the same time it took 1.45 CAD to get a Euro.
Right now it takes about 1.27 CAD to get a dollar and only 1.39 to get a Euro.
So if prices in Euros have not increased significantly, we would probably be better off going with Euros rather than USD.
Does anyone have any sense of what prices have done in Euro?

Does anyone have any sense of what prices have done in Euro? It just really depends on where you go. Some places on the French side do €1=$1, so you would be better off using USD in those circumstances.

No, I wasn't expecting anyone to take CAD. The question is to which currency we might want to convert our CAD. We would get more Euro now than 2 years ago but fewer USD. So aside from the places that take USD at par to Euro (where we would be about 12 cents ahead per dollar), what is the going exchange from USD to Euro when buying at local markets?

The Perch takes credit cards. If you have a no fee one, just have them charge through in Euro. If you pay cash with Dollars, you get the conversion fee that ClubO has set for the period. They usually reset it once a week and it's pretty close to what the true exchange rate is, depending on how fast the rate is changing.
