Welcome to FlyerTalk,

If
hindukid uses his credit card to withdraw cash at an ATM, he'll be charged a cash advance fee as well as interest on that amount.
A cheaper option would just be to purchase RER tickets with a credit card and then get cash from a BNP ATM in Paris.
Another option to get cash right away at the airport would just be to use any ATM and just consider BOA's out-of-network ATM fee as part of the price of getting cash--in the grand scheme of things that one-time expense isn't that huge.
Here you can search by arrondissement to find out where the BNP
distributeurs (ATMs) are:

Société Générale is one of the biggest offenders for giving out 50-euro notes. In addition to the others you mentioned, Banque Populaire is another one that gives a good mix of smaller bills.
