The horodateurs (payment meters) in Toulouse for on-street parking are gradually being modernised to allow payment by credit card, including contactless cards. The meters in the city centre have been out of use during the first half of August, when street parking has been free (as it common in big cities during this period owing to inhabitants deserting the city for holidays). The break has been used to up-date the meters, so no need to scrabble about for small change when parking in future. Charges are 20 centimes per 8 minutes, or 3 euros for 2 hours.
