Credit cards have always been a bit of a problem. Have you tried a foreign debit card?
There are also different types of Visa card to consider. My Chinese Visa card is linked to Union Pay, and was not accepted in the UK when I tried to use it earlier this year.

In other words, some cards might work, others might not.

I don't have an answer sorry, but a further question that might be pertinent. Are you transiting through France, or visiting France before onward travel to UK?

There is a Yamaha dealers on Yinghai Lu, about 100m from the junction with Dianchi Lu, in the south.
Over in the east of Guandu district there used to be an importer of Aprillia, MV, Vespa, on Yuyuan Lu, off of Bowang Lu. Turn off of Bowang down Yuyuan, and just before the first crossroads, on the right was the dealers.

You can buy BMW motorcycles from the BMW car dealership on Kunrui Lu, west of the 2nd ring road.
These are all worth looking at if he is just window shopping, but if your friend wants to buy, my advice would be to buy the same brands as those he can buy at home. This way he can be sure he will get the after sales service he will need. My brother in law has to drive over 250km to get his car serviced, no joke. I would not want to do that journey on a motorbike.

Because of the Metro Line 5 opening in our area, we have just gained another 3 bus services in our area. We live in a area a little off the beaten track, before we only had one bus.
It may be worth regular commuters, who live near line 5, checking to see if they have picked up any new bus routes.

Yes. A schematic map is only useful to find your way on the system that is mapped. For most tourists and strangers to the system, a map that relates to what is on the ground (above) is much more useful.

I could be mistaken but the I thought that the metro lines used to be shown on Googlemaps. But not any more apparently.
