Description
Change Magenta Dollar is a currency exchange office located in Paris’s 10th arrondissement at 77 Boulevard de Magenta, just minutes from Gare de l’Est. Open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM (closed Monday and Sunday), it offers buying and selling of a wide range of currencies: USD, GBP, CAD, CHF, JPY, CNY, KRW…
Created to serve both international visitors and local customers, this bureau stands out for its efficient, professional service. Transactions are processed swiftly with a multilingual team to assist clients, and no hidden charges.
Clients can reserve rare currencies in advance via phone or email to ensure availability. This flexibility is often praised:
“Possible de contacter en mail en amont pour réserver des sommes. Pratique pour des devises rares.”
The atmosphere is calm, secure and service-oriented. Service is provided at a comfortable, air‑conditioned counter accessible to wheelchair users. The bright Parisian‑inspired decor enhances the experience.
Target audience includes travelers, tourists and expatriates looking to exchange cash currencies, often supplementing ATM withdrawals (notably for dollars or pounds), or avoiding high overseas bank fees.
Staff can also advise on rate fluctuations, ideal exchange amounts, and cash-efficient payment strategies. Fun fact: some regulars call it the “pro-change booth” near the station, prized for low commissions on uncommon currencies.
Visitor info: Easily reachable via Gare de l’Est or Château d’Eau metro, with multiple metro and bus lines nearby. There’s no dedicated parking, but pedestrian access is straightforward.
