none that I know of, it's one of those holidays when everything is shut in France - you can use your debit cards at the petrol pumps but not sure if they accept UK ones. I know they didn't used to, but stand to be corrected:lol:

If you have a French card, then you have no problems whatsoever. Don't worry.

The way nationwide have mucked me about and cut me off from my funds three times now in six months I am seriously begining to doubt it. I am sure the bloke in the adverts is really their manager!

Nationwide FlexAccount Debit Card - Never leave UK without one :thumbup:

Don't forget though, even if your card doesn't work somebody will be along who will use their card for you in exchange for cash.
