1. I don't think you have Marriott points, but the Prince de Galles is baller. Over $1k a night, unless using points, great location. 7th arrondisement.
2. Use the card, even before COVID, there was not a lot of cash changing hands. Always let your bank handle the conversion, not the place you're at. Especially in London and Paris, there probably aren't many checks you're actually going to be able to pay in cash. Maybe take out 100 Euro when you land, you probably won't spend the cash over 10 days. I was in the UK multiple times, and never once needed to float a pound across a counter. Paris (EU) is much the same.

Use the card
Yep. I just had my card with no foreign transaction fees loaded up on my wallet and tapped everywhere
