Small SOS. We recently closed out a short-term Barclay's consumer account in France and they've sent us a bank check in Euro's with the remainder of the funds.

We have no local bank in Geneva since we're only here through the end of the year and have had no problems using cash (ATM's to debit US bank account) or credit cards.

Anyone have an idea about how I might cash out the Barclay's Euro check?

I'm expecting to pay some fee but not even sure whom to turn to. I pay bills through the Post Office (i.e. DVD rentals) but don't have an account there and prior threads seem to talk about problems cashing checks when one does have an account.

(Barclay's doesn't have a consumer presence in Geneva, so that's not even an option. They may have something in a neighboring French community but suddenly it becomes a much larger process than I'm hoping is necessary. Or perhaps a field trip on a summer day!)

Any ideas?

Thanks.
