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 Calais, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing and petty theft, especially near busy areas like the ferry terminal and train station. There have been reports of scams involving unofficial transportation offers and overpriced services. It's advisable to use licensed transport providers and avoid accepting rides from strangers. Additionally, travelers should stay clear of migrant camps on the outskirts, as these areas can be unpredictable and unsafe. Staying vigilant and securing personal belongings reduces the risk of incidents.
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.
