We highly recommend trip insurance that includes travel health insurance, especially for overseas trips. Travelex Insurance Services is a BBB Accredited business with an A+ rating, where most of the good companies rate a mere A or A-. Squaremouth.com, a leading comparison site, rates Travelex very high amongst those it lists. There are six plans. For a lot more information and the name of our contact person, click here. Meanwhile, suffice it to say that our travel agent has used Travelex for years. Accommodations: () With La Fête de la Musique happening during the time we are in Paris, rooms will get increasingly hard to find. For that reason, we recommend you make your reservations as soon as possible. The hotel is centrally located to the areas we will be photographing and is easy to get to from the airport. We have negotiated a discounted rate of 190€ for a standard room and 230€ for a superior room, breakfast included in all rates, and WiFi available in both the rooms and public areas at the strictly-non-smoking Hôtel du Panthéon 19 place du Panthéon 75005 Paris, FRANCE +33 1 43 54 32 95 phone +33 1 43 26 64 65 fax To take advantage of our discounted rates, you will need to contact the charming Stéphanie Duval, who speaks and writes excellent English, either by e-mail at sduval@hprg.eu or by phone at +33 1 43 54 32 95 (with the 011 before for those calling from the US). Let her know you are with Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures. If you make your reservations too late to stay at this hotel, they have a sister hotel right next door, although their rates that may not be as attractive as the ones at Hôtel du Panthéon. For those coming to the workshop, we will e-mail you information on the easiest (and least expensive) way to get to the hotel from the airport. Airport: The nearest major Airport is Charles de Gaulle (CDG), just outside of the city. There are clean, air-conditioned Air France buses that you can take straight from the airport into the city. These are much cheaper than taking a taxi (where you may get fleeced), or a train that involves carting your luggage farther (and further) than you may wish.
It is always good to check with TSA and your airline before traveling by air. Currently, TSA regulations note: "You may carry one (1) bag of photographic equipment in addition to one (1) carry-on and one (1) personal item through the screening checkpoint. The additional bag must conform to your air carrier's carry-on restrictions for size and weight. Please confirm your air carrier's restrictions prior to arriving at the airport." They do remind everyone that not all airlines will allow this, so you may want to select your airline based on thier willingness to work with photographers... "Air carriers may or may not allow the additional carry-on item on their aircraft. Please check with your air carrier prior to arriving at the airport." If you are a member of a photo association, carry your membership card. It may help you, but that is not a guarantee. Always check back with the TSA website for the latest updates!
There is obviously no need in Paris for a rental car, but if you need one for travel afterwards, we recommend you check out SixT in additional to your regular rental car companies. We have found their rentals to be very reasonable. Travel Agent Navigating the maze of overseas flights can be daunting, totally frustrating, and time consuming as we all search for the best fare. We have a travel agent that we can highly recommend — Paula Jaye at Largay Travel in Haverhill, MA. She is delightful and savvy and has been a travel agent for [many] years. She also has access to resources unavailable to us mere mortals and can often find fares that are below the ones on the Internet. In addition, Paula has been in the business for over 25 years and has traveled extensively in Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa as well as the US and Caribbean. So, particularly for help with international air and travel-related questions, call Paula Jaye at 978-372-0226 on the east coast or e-mail her. It is not our custom to recommend outside travel resources, so this lets you know how highly we regard Paula. Please note that since we negotiate special rates with our hotels, you must use our links for those. For Scotland, however, you will need to use Paula.
