The strange thing about France is that several years after going over
to the Euro, many bills and credit card slips still have the amount in
francs as well as euros. I am not sure why this is.

It was like that originally in the Netherlands too (not French francs
though, of course), but it soon went away. It seemed to be linked to
people who hadn't had their menus and price tags reprinted into Euros
yet.
