A US-citizen friend is going to rent a chateau in France for 1 week for 8 people for a Big Life Event this fall (not a big party, no activities beyond people staying there). Rental is a nonrefundable $10k, and a $3k damage deposit on top of that. She wants to know if there are insurance/travel insurance products that can protect this amount.... [more inside]

Must see TV, except for fine art

In your opinion, what are the things most worth seeing at the musee d'orsay and the Louvre? What made an impression on you? What took your breath away? When I say 'worth seeing' I don't mean 'see it so I can say I saw it, did you know the Mona Lisa is there???' I'm looking for 'this took my breath away'. I am a woman who needs A Plan. Can you help me make one? Thinly disguised neurosis within. [more inside]

Dependable Zoom call in Paris in the evening

Hi, I teach an online class and have a session in early April when I also have to travel to Paris for work. I don't want to roll the dice on my hotel wifi not being strong/consistent enough. Can anyone suggest a solution such as a hotel or business center that caters to this sort of thing? Or that you've recently found to have rock solid internet? Extra wrinkle: the class takes place 6pm-9pm Paris time. Thank you.

Paris (Bastille-ish) secure short term bike parking options?

We are taking our bikes to France to ride in the countryside (yay), but first we will be in Paris for a few days. We are not able to store our bikes at our hotel in Bastille. It seems like there are a few bike storage rental options (train stations, private garages), but it is hard to tell how secure they are. If you have experience dealing with Paris bike storage, what was it like?
