If you are required to pay Francs - as an entry fee, to pay interest, or to buy a building - you must use Francs. You can never convert any kind of food to Francs. If you don't have the Francs required for the first two, you must take a loan; for the third, you don't get to buy the building.
Actually, this isn't quite right either: you may not take loans when short on the entry fee.
Yes, that's right - I responded too quickly.
Of the items I mentioned, you can take loans only for paying interest and for feeding. If you don't have enough food in the feeding phase, you must pay the difference in Francs. If you don't have enough Francs to do so, you must take a loan.
You take a loan only when you have no choice but to spend some number of Francs - and you don't have enough.
