I am not sure there are many, if any, French airports with "proper" 24 hour customs where the sole means of paying is by fuel card.

Lognes I always reckon is the best airport for Paris and will arrange Customs for you, but it is fuel card only. The same is true of Lyon Darois which is a good stop over for any where further south or for visiting the finest vineyards in the World.

A few others come to mind but a lesson learned over the years is to ask before you go. If they only supply fuel by card and you dont have one it isnt that much of a problem to arrange your trip via a customs airport that does have pay as you go pumps for the purposes of clearance and refuelling.
