Get the best Euro to Swiss Franc today in France

travel money providers in France normally limit the maximum quantity of foreign currency to be purchased (Switzerland francs, etc.) to between 3,000 and 6,000 euros per calendar quarter.

If you want to change a larger amount of Euros to Switzerland francs, it is advisable to speak directly with the currency supplier. They might require from you additional documentation and proof of the source of your Euros (identity document, passport, certificate of professional activity, income statements, etc.).

Comparer Devise does not recommend exchanging currency at a French high street bank. They charge you a commission of around 2 to 3per cent as well as a margin.

Exchanging travel money at the airport is always the most expensive way to buy Switzerland francs.

In general, we suggest you to buy your travel money in safe places and where they do not impose on you a fee, in addition to a profit margin. Literally all banks in France and some physical currency providers will charge you a currency exchange commission circa 3%, with a minimum (whichever is higher), between 6 and 10 euros.

This means that if you exchange 100 euros to francs, as well as an exchange margin, you will be charged a fixed commission of of 6 to 10 euros, since it is a larger amount than the 3 euros commission that would correspond to applying 3% to 100 euros. If you exchange six hundred euros to francs, they would apply a 3% fee. That is eighteen euros, which is greater than the minimum of of 6 to 10 euros.

If you thought that your bank or the airport were the only places to purchase francs today, please, in the first place compare prices in the different currency providers that we have displayed for you above.

You can see that for the same euros, you will acquire more francs depending on the company you pick and you can spend the savings on other leisure activities for your trip (coffees, souvenirs, transportation, etc.).

The usual thing is that the foreign currency supplier where you will purchase your francs CHF will ask you to show an updated and valid ID card (resident´s ID card, carte nationale d´identité or passport in France). Bear in mind that your driver's license is not usually accepted as a valid document.

Contrarily banks do not normally ask for any ID from their customers who acquire francs CHF because they already identified them when they opened a bank account with them.
