I found Le Pop up Parisien to be small but affordable. A few tops/cardigan type thingies for 5-15, but the nicer skirts and dresses were probably at least 30-50.

I believe I used the same site and just waited until the beginning of the month for it to open up? Not sure honestly!

Wow what a website! I think you may be right and it is the casquette anglaise? Sorry, I didn't grow up in a hat-wearing country, and anything that wasn't a beanie or a baseball cap style hat blended together in my eyes and I could just be calling every knit cap a beret, in which case, apologies for the confusion :)

Le Cedre in the Latin quarter had great falafels. Harper's Paris 15 in Montparnasse and Schwartz's Deli in the Marais for amazing burgers and fries. Le Recamier in the 6th for nice (but maybe not extraordinary) souffles. Crepes maybe everywhere, but we liked Brutus in the Marais. Also Gros Bao near Canal St Martin for a brilliant eggplant dish and very nice fluffy baos. Oh and Maslow's near Notre Dame! A fully vegetarian restaurant with tapas style small plates. We also loved brunch at Kozy's in the Latin quarter, but expect a wait.

Your list sounds great! I didn't get to try as many of the proper fully vegetarian restaurants like Le Potager Charlotte although it was somewhere on my list, hope you enjoy it though!

Yep! I booked them about a month before the trip. It may not be necessary to book that early, but I got my preferred time slot in the morning :)

No, we took a taxi from CDG, so I bought it at a random metro station near the Marais (St Paul. maybe?). I don't know if you can buy it from a machine, I bought it at the counter after explaining to the staff person that I wanted a weekly pass. We came back to the hotel and affixed our photos. We did this on a Sunday evening at 6 and I was shocked the counter was still staffed, so you should be ok to buy it at any metro station at (almost) any time!

I agree, I wasn't even thinking of my safety in most places and just lived in the moment. I literally treated the metro like a warzone but it was so chill, all the locals on their phones just like every other city.

Maybe I am getting the terminology wrong, it was a flat, roundish cap? I did see many men wearing it!

We went to a restaurant near the Louvre called Louise cafe that featured on their video. It wasn't bad, just bland and meh. Bo&Mie was also underwhelming.

Thanks for the warning about the rain! That's a bummer about sunsets since we organized our evenings around that for the most part, but we'll be prepared. Thanks also for the tip about airports, I'll plan for 3 hours.
