Now ‘Made in India’ magic will work on Eiffel Tower too! The biggest tension of traveling abroad is over

Imagine, you are standing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, taking out your purse to buy a ticket, and then… the hassle of foreign currency, the tension of extra charges on credit cards! But what if you just take out your phone, scan the QR code, and pay with your PhonePe or Google Pay just like you would at a shop near your home?

Yes, this dream has now become a reality, and its impact has been so tremendous that even France is surprised!

India’s UPI created a stir in France!

India’s own Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has worked such a magic in France that there has been a flood of Indian tourists there. Ever since the facility of payment through UPI started at the Eiffel Tower, there has been a huge jump of 40% in the number of Indian tourists visiting there!

This is not a small matter. The General Manager of the Eiffel Tower himself is surprised by this.

So why are Indians liking it so much?

The biggest reason for this is ‘No tension’ payment,

• Payment in direct rupees: When you scan the QR code, you see the price directly in Indian Rupees.
• No hidden charges: The exact amount that you see on the screen is deducted from your account. No hassle of changing currency, no extra fees.
• Safe and easy: Now you don’t need to carry around lots of cash in your pocket or use credit cards everywhere.

‘Lyra Network’, the company that brought this facility to France, says that this success is more than expected and shows how powerful India’s technology is.

Now shopping will also be easy!

The Eiffel Tower is just the beginning. Now this facility is going to start soon in Bicester Village also, starting with La Valley Village in France. For those who don’t know, let us tell you that Bicester Village is a very popular place among Indians for shopping of designer brands. Now you will be able to shop easily through UPI there too.

It is not just a payment system, but a symbol of India’s growing strength and respect across the world. Next time you plan to go to France, stop worrying about foreign currency, your phone is enough!
