When I was in Provence - most notably in St Remy - I saw many restaurants with "No CB" and/or "CB" with a slash through it. This was mostly at the small places with handwritten chalkboard menus kind of places.
Does this simply mean "No credit cards / Carte Bancaire"? Or is there more to it than that? I know credit cards is usually translated as cartes de credit but I think I remember years ago when the CB logo in France was like the MC/Visa logo in America.
I didn't get a chance to ask but the similar place I ate in Arles really wanted me to pay in cash. I didn't see the notation on their menu but I had anticipated that after seeing these signs and guessing at what it meant.
Thoughts?
