Will Mastercard work all over France?

Someone told me that Mastercard is NOT widely accepted in France, but Visa is widely accepted. We've been to Italy, Scotland, England & Ireland and have never had a problem with our Mastercard. Any insight would be helpful.

Mastercard and Visa are equally accepted not only in France, but all over Europe. In Europe Mastercard goes by the name "Eurocard". This is where a lot of the confusion arises. But Mastercard and Eurocard are interchangeable, and you won't have any problems.
