Does the machine not accept Euro notes? Since that might be a problem for most of us I imagine!
Some do, some don't. You'd often get a row of machines, where only the one at the end accepts notes. In theory, "information" might be kind enough to break your note into coins, but:
* I have never tried this * The common notion is that French don't like to help English speaking foreigners. I should add right now that my personal experience from over 15 years that my sister lives in France, and therefor having had multiple visits here, is 100% contradicting to this notion. Ask a random person on the street for help in a polite and quite manner, and they'll do their very best to help you, language barriers not withstanding.
