What is the secret to not getting raped changing dollars to euros in France or Monaco? (slightly OT)

Money changing may be the biggest scam in the world and the rakes seem considerably higher to do so here than in the pre euro years.
The hotel rake is about 11.5%, the money change booth rate is worse at 12.5%. The one bank I found that does change (fewer do it here now it seems) has a more reasonable 7% rake (note that these rakes are one way) but steadfastly refused to take US 100's due to counterfit fears.
Honestly the last time I was treated like this, I begged them to put a condom on the end of the broomstick.
Advise please .. neilkaz ..
