As I write, the euro is at one of it's best points against the pound for nine months. Best, that is, for those of us who have to change our sterling into euros to spend in France and elsewhere. No-one can be sure what the future holds, but even at the current rate my diesel is costing less than a pound a litre and meals out are looking affordable again - especially since Monsieur Sarkozy abolished VAT on restaurant food last year.
You can benefit (or lose out) in big ways by choosing the right way to spend and exchange your money - and even how you draw cash. Spring Harvest Holidays directors David and Alison Dorricott have given us the benefit of their own experience in the form of some tips and contacts. Click here to find out more.

Good advice. I also use a Caxton FX card as recommended, you pay in euros effectively so there is no commission. also you buy Euros in your own time and when the rate is better. I recently put a hundred and fifty quid on the card when the rate went up to 1.15, pretty good at the moment, meaning you can split the payments and not fork out hundreds of pounds the week before you go!! see you in August, looking forward to coming to Le Pas Opton for the 2nd time!!
