Mobile payments and digital wallets, curated for travelers visiting France.
France is thoroughly card-first: contactless Visa and Mastercard work everywhere from boulangeries to motorway tolls, with a 50 euro tap limit on physical cards, while Apple Pay and Google Pay carry no such cap. Cash is only really needed at small markets and some village cafes. The old Paylib wallet has been folded into Wero, a bank-linked European wallet closed to visitors, so tourists can rely almost entirely on a fee-free travel card.
Fee-free euro spending for France's near-universal contactless terminals: boulangeries, metro machines, motorway tolls and cafes all take a tap, so one card covers almost everything.
