We pay in the currency of the side, just easier for us. ATMs are plentiful, there are at least 3 near the big Super U, near Orient, one by L'express and two a little farther down the road from the grocery. We keep a stash of Euros for travel since we come here and go to France regularly but with our Schwab account all international transaction fees and ATM fees are rebated to us at the end of the month. Between that and Chase Preferred, we have never been charged anything extra for international transactions. A nice little perk that has saved us quite a bit.
