Shock No. 6 Use only 20 euro bills in France

So ok I am leaving Paris tomorrow (I hope). And I was in a kinda happy mood all day. So I went to a super market to buy some products. And so I was paying for those products and I gave this lady 200 euro bill. I had a chance to learn that French don't accept 500 euro bill. But to my surprise they don't accept 200 euro bill neither. This was also a kind of shock. I mean what is the point in printing bills if they aren't realizable.
Anyway I have googgled a bit about this matter and apparently all the shops have to accept those bills according to laws, but they don't have that necessary equipment though it is theirs' problem. Anyway my tip: use only 20 euro bills in France...
