Caxton cards will be declined at all unmanned French fuel stations but accepted at maned fuel stations.Caxton card seems fine when getting cash out from a hole in the wall, but is sometimes declined when trying to pay for stuff. We had it declined when trying to pay for fuel and at a motorway toll in France earlier this week.
So as already said, always best to have some cash and another card as back-up.

As you can with Mytravelcash and all prepaid euro cardsI like Caxton because you can buy Euro's when the rate is good which then sit in your account ready for withdrawal as and when you like. You can then draw cash from the hole in the wall as and when you like at no additional cost. You can also use the card to pay for goods and services at no additional cost. I did speak to Caxton about unmanned fuel stations and sadly that will not change. I can't remember the reason.
It's also worth noting that prepaid cards are not accepted on toll roads either, that caught me out on my first trip to France.Caxton cards will be declined at all unmanned French fuel stations but accepted at maned fuel stations.
As I said , today got an email saying if I load £1000 they will add another £10s worth of euros that's at 1.2222 whereas carton is 1.2341, so don't know how that equates, when remember we also get 1% back on spendings , can't be a lot in it.We use Mytravelcash, not pushing or knocking it, it works for us, not the best conversion, but there is no charges whatsoever, and if you keep an eye on your email they have special offers now and again where you get extra euros when you load it , and also you get a genuine 1% cash back on all purchases direct into your account. Works every where except card only fuel stations, and some tolls.

I use post office credit card, and it has always worked for fuel (even on the pump that said English cards wouldn't work), tolls, aires and shops. No charges for using it abroad. For cash withdrawals I use N&P as again there are no charges. I just use their secure message system online to let them know when I'll be abroad.
I was originally going to get a caxton or fairfx preloaded card but discovered that your money is not protected if the company goes belly up. And having had a very near miss with the crown currency exchange debacle I decided against it although the risk is small.
