Waldorf Astoria and BP petrol station, that was about it.

Amex needs to work on France for sure!
Indeed, although it does annoy me with restaurants, many say they don't take Amex but the second I say its the only card I have (I lie, I obviously have other cards) it magically works in their machine.
