Cashback of €60 is now available in France
Cashback is now widely available in France and Casino supermarkets are among the first to take it up.
The concept, which allows you to get cash from stores as long as you make a purchase by bank card, is already widespread in several European countries but was slow to start in France. It has come in following a European directive.
