France uses the euro (EUR) as its currency. Travelers generally find it convenient to use cards for most transactions, especially in cities and larger establishments, but carrying some cash is advisable for small vendors, markets, and rural areas where card acceptance may be limited.
In La Rochelle, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the old port and during festivals. Avoid leaving belongings unattended and be wary of distraction techniques. Scams involving overcharging in taxis or at small shops can occur, so always confirm prices in advance. Petty theft near popular tourist sites is the main safety concern to watch out for.
