Currency Guide for Nice and the Riviera
Nice uses the euro, like the rest of France, and so does Monaco despite not being an EU member. Cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere on the coast, though cash is worth carrying in the perched villages and for small markets. Use your bank or card provider for real-time rates when withdrawing cash.
Rates are indicative and approximate — always check your bank or card provider for the exact rate when paying or withdrawing cash in Nice, Monaco or elsewhere in the euro area.
