Our experience is that banks do take the deposits with no problem and treat travellers cheques as just another cheque/cash deposit. I'm not sure how easy it is to find commission-free travellers cheques in France though ... good luck! Thanks, Leesa and Linda.

I have no idea if I would be able to set it up in France. They make everything so difficult at banks here. I do have an American bank account though. Hmmm. That sounds like a great idea.

We pay enough for the plane ticket, car rentals, etc... When we go back to the States, I use my U.S. money from my U.S. bank account- even last trip when the euro was at 1= $1.60 just for the simple reason that I didn't have a whole lot of euros to spend!! So, I just used the money I had in my bank account in the U.S. I think it was easier that way, anyhow.. I like this article and it offers from really useful info to travelers... I agree!!
