Please don't get me wrong. It's just for the sake of discussion.
I got DCC'd at the Novotel Paris Gare Montparnasse, after the hotel clerk said it was "automatic" after she swiped my US Visa card & almost got DCC'd again at the CDG duty free shop, but at least there they gave us a choice. Otherwise, we saw little DCC in France over the nearly 2 weeks we were there back in March.
