Collobrières main exports are edible chestnuts which are made into things like marron glacé and ice cream. They also grow trees for cork production.
Collobrières uses the Euro, since it's part of France. But since 2008, the french franc was introduced back as a side currency, to let people see how much the prices changed, and to cultivate tourism.
