The going rate or the OFFICIAL rate? Most places charge some variation of the 'official rate', not necessarily the official rate. I think the question was what are the restaurants actually charging right now? If many places are actually doing 1 for 1 (which I don't know who is and who is not), then obviously it's better to pay cash. I think that was the actual question.

I think so too ! It would be nice to know since we'll be arriving in two weeks ! Last year, the ones who were not 1 for 1 were charging around 1.20...

oceanbreeze--thanks for the info on what people are actually charging, versus what the official rate is, as people almost always charge a different rate than the official rate.

As long as one knows what the actual exchange rate is, then if a vendor is using something higher than the actual exchange rate, put the charge on your credit card with no foreign exchange fees, in euros. If it is lower and they want cash, like 1 to 1, pay 'em cash.

I don't remember what the rate was a year ago...but actually, it's a math exercice for us who have to deal with our poor canadian dollars !! It costs us about 1.36 CAD to get 1 USD and 1.48 CAD to get 1 Euro.....

... for us who have to deal with our poor canadian dollars ! Since we have to change our CADs to something, we usually carry some USD and some EURO and then go with whichever looks like it will be the best deal at the time.
