Bank Blank

Problems for visitors to the Tarantaise ski region  – resorts such as Les Arcs, Val d’Isere and the Trois Vallees have a strike at ATMs operated by Credit Agricole, the area’s  biggest bank, whose  staff are demanding huge pay rises for working in the cold and in difficult driving conditions.  Knowing the Fench shopkeepers love of cash over plastic Brits are advised to take extra Euros when they visit as machines in the resorts are closed and in the valleys they are are running out of notes.  Sacre bleu!
