Here in France, many places won't take large bills. You can usually forget about paying with 100 € bills, and many will be iffy even about 50s.

I'm also pretty sure it's illegal to pay cash for anything above 1000 €.

I'm curious how this legislation will end up, because the reason to push for cashless is that you should think of the children^Wterrorists. And much of this push comes from the EU itself (see chatcontrol).

The plans for harmonization are to have a limit of 10000 €. > the EU itself “The EU itself” isn’t a singular mind, it’s a forum with many participants and positions. In the end there needs to be a majority in the Parliament.
