currency use in St barts

Our trip into St Bart was a lesson in the best currency to use as part of the European Union via France it is so much easier to bring along euros. Although US dollars are accepted they are often converted into the euro exchange for purchases and change is returned in euros. Of course for the more expensive designer buys it is so much easier with your credit card, no exchange worries there as it is handled by your financial institution. HAPPY SHOPPING!
