Left phone in hotel, how to mail it over?

Hi, this is really a tough one for me but I left my Workphone in my hotel in Paris, and I urgently need it (I live in Singapore). Does anyone have experience with getting an express courier to pick up a phone and mailing it? Thanks!

What to get from Paris that is not designer bags or clothes?

Hi all! My husband is traveling to Paris in a few weeks. I’d love to give him a list of must haves to get for me. I am not much into designer bags or clothes at the moment. But I love skincare and makeup. I also love quirky little things and books. We also have a little toddler he’d like to get something for. Please give me your best souvenirs that fit the bill. Thank you so much!

Which spot better for weekend in Paris?

Going with a couple of female friends! We’re trying to toss up between these two spots in terms of convenience, cool / actually nice restaurants and cafes, not too touristy

— basically what’s best for a 3 day stay in Paris?

Would love your thoughts!

Clarify Paris airport train ticket?

I am traveling to Paris this month for the first time since 2000 and, while I understand how to purchase metro tickets on my phone (I have the app downloaded), I want clarification on the special tickets to get to and from the airports- the recommended route for me to get from the hotel to Orly to pick up our rental car (we are going out of the city for part of the trip so I will be leaving for the airport from the city) has me start on the metro, taking the 12 train from Jules Joffrin, and then switch at Saint-Lazare to the 14 Aéroport d'Orly train. Do I need a separate, regular metro ticket for the Jules Joffrin-to-Saint-Lazare leg, and then use the airport ticket starting at Saint-Lazare, or will the airport ticket cover me for both the 12 train and the 14?

Likewise, on the way in from CDG, will the airport ticket cover me from the airport to the Simplon station, or do I need a separate metro ticket, too? In that case, I'm switching from the RER to the metro at Gare du Nord, I believe.

And huge apologies if this is a dumb question; getting tickets for the metro and RER have clearly changed since I was last there and I'm trying to understand how to get tickets correctly and not end up getting fined for doing something wrong!

Frenchie vs Septime

Hi all,

I’m taking my husband to Paris for a surprise overnight trip for his 40th birthday and would love to book somewhere really special for dinner.

I’m currently deciding between Frenchie and Septime (although I know my chances may be slim to get into Septime!).

For anyone who’s been to either- or ideally both- which would you choose for a special occasion?

My husband definitely prefers a relaxed, unfussy atmosphere rather than formal fine dining. Food-wise, he’s not particularly interested in anything too experimental or “out there”- he just really appreciates exceptionally good, delicious food.

So with that in mind, would you recommend Frenchie or Septime? I’d also love to hear about the overall atmosphere/experience at each, as I want it to feel special without being overly formal or stuffy.

Thanks so much in advance!

Another Boat Cruise Question: Sunset Cruise with Baby

What is the best option for a 1-1.5 hour Seine River Cruise for a family that will have a baby in tow. The only real non negotiable is the ability to be inside (lower deck) with baby. Would like to have champagne or at least have it available to purchase, and we would like to be able to do it around sunset time. We will be staying near the Eiffel Tower.

Was looking at Bateaux Paresiens but my wife is convinced we will have to get in line a hour ahead of time to guarantee the seats/spots on the lower deck not in the elements, is this true???
