When I am in France later this week will the euro tourist rate be different to the Banks in England?

The tourist rate tends to be par to the rate you will get in England but your better off due to competition of banks once you get to France.  The train stations, ports and airports are good starts but all banking institutions in France will be the best bet for you as they are competing for your pounds, dollars, etc.  You will get the best exchange rate by using your ATM card in a machine there and taking out the local currency. Whatever you have left over, make sure you exchange that before you leave an EU country (best bet is to exchange at the airport before flying back to the UK). \n\nGood luck.

It depends when you change it - the rate fluctuates constantly. A good resource can be found at:\n\nhttp://www.xe.com/ucc/

It has drifted out to $1.80 for 1 GBP, but I can remember when it was more like $1.50. Gpod news for Brits visiting America, as their pound goes further, bad news for Americans visiting England, as they get less for their dollar.

No.\n\nI have a UK calendar right in front of me, and it only lists Monday, May 29 as a bank holiday.

Nothing\n\nThe Euro is now the currency of Spain\n\nIt would have been worth $7.17\n\nIt is no longer accepted for changing at commercial banks. There is a very faint chance that the central Spanish bank in Madrid  may still change it for Euros.

At this minute? I have no idea. However, check the link below link and you'll likely find today's rate(s) to be just about the same.

I doubt you would be able to use it in a shop, but a bank would change it. Go to the bank of England's web site and have a look.

British Pounds Sterling is the currency of Great Britain, but in London now, you can also use Euros in many shops to buy stuff. Euros are probably not the kind of currency you can use for things like pubs, clubs, taxis and trains. Its mainly retail shops that allow purchases with Euros.\n\nIn addition, in some shops you can also use dollars but these are rare. Harrods for example, gives you the option to pay in US Dollars.

Hi there.  The taxation system here seems complicated - I'm in the process of looking for work in France.  The rates depend on your family situation and whether you are self employed or employed.  It is bureaucratic to register here as a business and there is a crackdown on people who are working for 'cash in hand'.  National Insurance contributions are high - up to 40% and then there is income tax on top (maybe 20%) + you will need to top up on health insurance.  If you are getting an income from UK - say from a property rental or investments then that would need to be declared in France.  If you aren't fully resident here then you can continue to pay your taxes in England under the common agreement (can't remember its name). I don't have all the answers yet by any means, but like you, have taken the plunge!  Most ex-pats I know have used the David Hampshire books as their starting point but you might need specialist advice.  Living France and other such magazines have listings and there are Anglo-info websites for the regions with contacts too.  All the very best with your move.
