Currency before and after leaving for your vacation in a self-catering holiday rental in Nice:

BEFORE you leave the States for you self-catering holiday rental in the city of Nice, arrange with a large local bank (prior to going to your self catering vacation rental in the French Riviera) to buy at least $100 worth of foreign money so that you land in your self-catering holiday rental in the Cote d’Azur with some "cash" in hand. It may take a week´s notice at your bank, so place an order for ..(Pounds. Euros, yen, etc.) as well as a supply of traveler´s checks before leaving for your self catering vacation rental in the city of Nice the heart of the Cote d’Azur. Upon arrival at the Nice Cote d’Azur airport, go past the first bank of currency exchange windows, there are more windows further into the airport with shorter lines. AFTER your vacation in your self-catering holiday rental in the French Riviera, at the Nice French Riviera airport waiting to fly home , exchange your foreign money back to dollars. Unless you collect them, do the same with the coins. US banks will only accept bills for conversion unlike your self catering vacation rental in Nice. (If I know I will be going back to that country again and rent a other self-catering holiday rental in the French Riviera I keep some currency...label an envelope at home with the country name, and keep it until next time I need to rent a self catering vacation rental in the Cote d’Azur.)
