In places like the North America or the United Kingdom, it is usual to purchase travel money online. The user who wants to sell CADs to euros will go to a holyday money comparison service like Comparer Devise or directly to a holiday money provider and sell online their CADs or any other currency for euros he/she wants to sell.
If you thought that your the airport or your bank were the only places to change CADs for euros on this day in France, please, first check the prices in the different currency suppliers that we have compared for you above.
You can see that for the same amount of CADs, you will acquire more Euros depending on the supplier you select and you can spend the remnants on other entertainment for your trip (coffees, souvenirs, transportation, etc.).
If you have dollars CADs left over once your travels are over, head to our Sell your currency tab, fill in the dollar canadien amount you did not spend (banknotes only, not loose coins) and select your city. Comparer Devise will display the closest holiday money provider´s outlets that will purchase your leftover dollars CADs from you and the total amount of Euros they will give you in exchange.

Finding the best exchange rate to change dollars to Euros today in France is as easy as browsing Comparer Devise.es and selecting the currency you want to sell in our currency purchase widget, tab Sell Currency.
Bear in mind that the rates and conditions to sell dollars to euros that you see on our website are exclusive to be better than the rates you will get if you go directly to the currency supplier.
We do not recommend exchanging currency at a french bank. They impose you a commission of around 2 to 3% as well as an exchange rate.
Exchanging travel money at the airport is always the most expensive way to sell your dollars to euros.
No doubt. Comparer Devise has been analyzing the french market for currency suppliers and banks for more than 5 years and have come to the conclusion that, depending on the currency you need to change, some currencies are easy to accept in exchange for euros but other less frequent ones aren´t.
Usually the CAD-EUR price is more interesting if you order them online to do a click and collect than if you go directly to the currency provider store.
As a rule, we suggest you to sell your travel money in safe locations and where they do not charge you a fee, in addition to an exchange margin. Practically all banks in France and some physical currency suppliers will impose on you a currency exchange fee circa 3%, with a minimum (whichever is higher), of six to ten €.
This means that when you exchange the equivalent of one hundred euros from dollar canadien to euro, as well as an exchange margin, you will pay a fixed commission of of six to ten €, since it is an amount higher than the 3 euros fee that would correspond to applying 3% to 100 euros. If you exchange the equivalent of 600 euros from dollar canadien to euro, they would charge you a 3% commission. That is eighteen euros, which is higher than the minimum of of six to ten €.
Normally, if you change CADs to euros at your bank store, they will already know you and you will only have to identify yourself as a client of that entity.
When you change CADs to euros at a currency provider´s outlet, on the street or at the airport, you will have to provide an updated and valid ID card (passport or resident´s identity card called carte nationale d´identité in France). Have in mind that your driver's ID will not be accepted as a valid document when changing CADs to Euros.
Currency exchange is an activity similar to many others: there are travellers who sell and buy currencies like the dollar canadien in exchange for euros to/from a retailer (the one that sells/buys from us dollars canadiens).
If they do not stock enough stock of dollars canadiens, they buy this currency from a wholesale business. The difference between what they have paid for the dollars canadiens and what they charge you when you buy them is the profit margin they make.
However, in this currency exchange market, it may be the case that the bank or currency supplier does not buy the banknotes from a wholesale company, but instead buys them from a consumer that travels to France with dollars canadiens.
In this case, in addition to earning a profit for buying the dollar canadien notes from this person, they impose on you another margin when they sell you the currency. Double win!
Holiday money providers in France usually limit the maximum quantity of foreign currency to be changed from dollar canadien to euro to the equivalent in euros to 3,000 to 6,000 euros per calendar quarter.
This is a requirement the AML regulations. If you want to change a higher amount of dollars to Euros, Comparer Devise recommends to speak directly with the travel money provider.
They might ask from you additional documentation and proof of the origins of your dollars (identity document, passport, certificate of professional activity, income statements, etc.).
The dollar canadien to euro rate fluctuates daily. The currencies of countries with more stable economies change less, and vice-versa. Nevertheless it is also necessary to weigh in situations such as Brexit or the Ukraine war, major sporting events or economic crisis, which can affect the exchange rates of a specific currency, like the dollar canadien, right away.
In any case, most banks and currency suppliers often revise the rate at which they buy or sell dollars canadiens once a day, first thing in the morning.
We always have its rates updated, so that you access the best information available on exchange rates.
