The French have a very bizare attitude about traveler's checks. Once I went with American Express, and I couldn't cash them in a bank unless I had two credit cards (I had one). The second time I took Thomas Cook traveler's checks in French Francs. The shop at the D'Orsay said they would take the check but could not give me change. Hello!!
So, now I take Francs in cash and my magic money card.
Life is a lot easier. Just dance up to those cash machines and get your francs. Or CHARGE IT!!!
