France is expensive; items will cost the same as they would in New York City or San Francisco. You will need spending money to cover the cost of meals, laundry, emergencies, local transportation, entrance fees for required visits to museums and other incidentals while you are in France. Past students recommend budgeting about $2400. Of course, some people spend more and some people spend less. You should do some research on your own about costs, and think about how you usually spend money when you traveling and create a realistic budget for yourself.
The recommended budget for personal expenses is intended to provide a reasonable minimum estimate for meals, travel within your host-city, laundry, minor emergencies, etc. Please note that estimate does not include optional independent travel, personal entertainment or currency fluctuations.

ATM cards require a 4 digit pin—be sure you have one before you leave. MasterCard and Visa are widely accepted in Europe and will also give you the best exchange rate. Travelers checks such as American Express and Thomas Cook will be accepted at banks and currency exchanges but may require that you pay a commission fee. Don’t rely solely on one method of getting money; have a back up.
