Preparing your trip to Cannes: advices & hints - things to do and to obey
1. Almost all shops, restaurants and entertainment venues accept payments by plastic cards. Only tourists, who plan to make many purchases in open markets and small shops that are located in the suburban area, will need a sufficient amount of cash.
2. The most advantageous to pay for goods and services is to use the national currency. Tourists can exchange money in banks or specialized exchange offices. When exchanging money, tourists should pay attention not only to the exchange rate, but also to the amount of commission charged. The institutions located near hotels usually charge the highest commission.
3. Local people are usually very fond of their native language and are reluctant to communicate in other languages, even if they speak them fluently. Holidaymakers are recommended to take a French phrase book with them and learn how to say a few phrases in the local language. This will help to establish communication with locals and show respect for their culture.
