Is there really still a separate Carte Bleue payment network? The brand was sold to Visa Europe in 2010 and there are no mentions anymore on the websites. I would be surprised to learn that they still operate a different network.
Looks like I mixed things up myself. Carte Bleue was apparently something related to Visa, and CB (for "carte bancaire") is the national network.
But people actually still often say "carte bleue" to refer to any kind of payment card (even a Mastercard one). Apparently just because it was the name of the first payment card in France.
So yeah, you have to swap carte bleue and carte bancaire in my previous post, I guess.
