Where can I change/draw out money?

There is a Bureau de Change located on Place Balmat, the main square in the centre of Chamonix, as well as several banks and a Post Office where you can change money. Cash points in the centre of town are numerous and in Les Houches and Argentière this is one of the easiest ways to obtain Euros using a credit or debit card. Please note that most banks in France close on Sundays, Mondays and all public holidays. They also take the traditional lunch break of 12am to 2pm, so if you need to speak to a cashier make sure you have checked their opening times first. This should not affect the availability of cash points.
