I will be travelling to Métabief, France in the coming weekends.
Currently I am in a dilemma. As I will be landing in Geneva Airport in Switzerland, I need to take public transport in Switzerland so that I can reach Metabief, France.
I am not sure whether Euro is applicable to both France and Switzerland. I know that Euro is accepted in France but Switzerland has its own currency, that is Swiss Franc.
Best Answer
Different countries, different currencies.
Since your starting point will in in Switzerland, you will have to pay in Swiss Franc.
Maybe your transport company accepts Euros, but don't plan on it.
You could pay with Credit Card which removes the burden of having to have Swiss currencies.
