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 Rouen, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like markets, train stations, and popular tourist sites. Scam attempts involving distraction techniques or fake petitions may also occur. It is advisable to stay vigilant with personal belongings and avoid accepting unsolicited offers from strangers.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
