the Euro was introduced in France in 2001 (technically it was distributed from the last months of the year 2000) and had legal value from January 1, 2001. During the year 2001 people could use either the Franc or the Euro, as they wanted. From January 1, 2002, the Euro was the only currency with legal value in France, but you could still bring back your old coins and notes to your bank for an exchange. The exchange rate was 6.55957 francs for one Euro.
