We sometimes have to pay bills in Euros (at work) * Fennel* and have no choice but to do it via our bank ( in branch) as we do not have a facility to pay in Euros ourselves. I agree the costs are ridiculous but I don’t think there is any other way . Sorry I can’t come up with a solution, unless you know someone who does bank in Euros and they would do it for you and you could settle with them privately? Good luck .

After moving back from France in Feb. we've got another bill to pay from France, taxes foncieres which is like council tax. But we've closed our french bank account.
Any brilliant ideas about how to do it? I've been puzzling over it all day. Don't want to incur big bank charges here (Lloyds).
