Legally, all French residents and French citizens abroad have a right to open a bank account in France. That doesn't mean it's easy—there are a few hoops you'll have to jump through first. To start, you'll need identification, proof of address, and proof of residence status.
Check in advance with your branch or the local branch to confirm they accept cash deposits from out of region account holders. When you do go to pay cash in – take your passport or ID book, your cheque book with RIB slip (see more on RIB here), and be aware that you may be asked to show a utility bill.
French ATMs accept chip-and-pin cards and cards with only a magnetic strip on the back. You can use any MasterCard (Cirrus and Maestro) or Visa (Plus) card. Most bank-issued cards are compatible with one of these networks, but it is a good idea to confirm this with your bank.

Yes, sure, banking in France is similar enough to banking in the USA, but actually opening a bank account in France as a foreigner was a bit of a shock. It took a while, was not free, and involved a fair amount of paperwork! Banks in France seem to operate very subjectively.
