Here in France, many places won't take large bills. You can usually forget about paying with 100 € bills, and many will be iffy even about 50s.
I'm also pretty sure it's illegal to pay cash for anything above 1000 €.
I'm curious how this legislation will end up, because the reason to push for cashless is that you should think of the children^Wterrorists. And much of this push comes from the EU itself (see chatcontrol).
