Do you need cash in Paris, or is card enough?
Most visitors can use card for almost everything, but it is still smart to have a small amount of cash for certain situations: markets, small purchases, tips, toilets, or places where card minimums still appear.
The point is not to travel with a lot of cash. It is to avoid tiny annoying moments when card is not ideal. We explain it clearly in the guide. Link in comments.
