How easy is it to change money?
There are four banks and a Post Office in Tignes' various villages where you can change money during banking hours Monday to Friday. (note: French banks will frequently close for lunch between 12.00 - 14.00.)
Cash machines can often be one of the easiest ways to obtain Euros using a credit or debit card. Although there isn't a cash point in Lavachet.
Also American dollars may not be accepted by local banks, especially 100 dollar bills, due to the large number of forgeries in circulation in the past.
