The French use the comma like our decimal point here, and vica versa. My set of books will cost about $600 US Dollars.
As for TTC, here is a clip from a sender:
VAT (Value Added Tax): France’s VAT is 19.6% on most goods except for food, medicine and books, for which it’s 5.5%. It is as high as 33% on items such as watches, cameras and video cassettes. Prices that include VAT are often marked TTC (toutes taxes comprises, ‘all taxes included’). If you’re not an EU resident, you can get a refund of most of the VAT (TVA, or détaxe in French).
