Unwanted Dynamic Currency Conversion

Hi all,

Recently had a rental out of CDG, and I just received the email receipt that had me charged in my local currency instead of EUR. Of course I am aware of DCC and never accept it if I am offered, so this must have been done without my knowledge. The difference between that and the mid-market rate is only 8 EUR or so, but the principle of the matter still stands.

On the e-receipt, there appears to be line saying "Il m'a ete propose le choix de la monnaie, j'ai donc choisi de payer la facture de ma location dans la monnaie du pays de provenance de ma carte de credit" - which based on Google Translate suggests that I was offered the choice of currency and chose to pay in my local currency. This is certainly not true.

What recourse, if any, do I have in this situation? Or is it not worth fighting?
