Overnight parking in Paris near metro
Hi
Can you please recommend me where can I park the car near metro station. I don't mind street parking as long as it is safe or pay few EUR more for monitored car park. I'll be staying from Sat 1pm till Sun 10pm in August. I'm coming from Valencia (Belgium direction) and I'm going to book a hotel in a city centre, leaving the car outside. I don't know what metro station would suit best. Any concrete suggestion higly appreciated. Thanks a million. Best regards Romi |

See: http://www.stif-idf.fr/voyager/parc_relais/index.html for details of all car parks (free - gratuit - and paying) near rail stations in the Ile-de-France area. The interactive station list http://www.stif-idf.fr/voyager/parc_...cces-stif.html is only in French, but the data is presented in a simple way. But the best way to start is with the map at: http://www.stif-idf.fr/voyager/parc_...ais%202003.pdf BTW, The STIF-IDF site has links to a lot of other relevant information on travel facilities in and around Paris.

I don't know what metro station would suit best. Forget about parking in the suburbs. From Barcelona, you'll be arriving on the A6, which last exit before Paris is Orly airport / Rungis, and frankly, you'll spend the night driving in the maze before ou can find a RER station... So I'd advise you to do as following: - book a hotel in the Latin Quarter. - Upon arrival in Paris, after you pass Orly airport, there is a fork on the motorway with 2 branches: A6a going to Porte d'Orléans and A6b going to Porte d'Italie. Follow the *A6a* "Paris-Porte d'Orléans". - So now you're in Paris! Welcome! - On exiting the motorway on the 25-April-1944 square, head straight on the Avenue du Général Leclerc. Follow the white signing "DENFERT-ROCHEREAU". - Go through Denfert Rochereau square. Keppe on following straight ahead. You'll cross the Bld du Montparnasse and engage onto Bld Saint Michel. - Once at the Gare du Luembourg, turn right on the Soufflot street. - The Pantheon is in front of you, young girls everywhere, it's Paris, it's fantastic. - There's an underground monitored park on the Soufflot street if you want. Or you can leave your car in the markings around the Pantheon. Then enjoy Paris! To head for Brussels, - go down the Soufflot street, turn right on the Bld Saint-Michel - keep going straight ahead: pass the river Seine, the Cité island, the Châtelet square, engage the Sébastopol and Strasbourg boulevards until you arrive at Gare de l'Est, - follow the signing "PORTE DE LA CHAPELLE": just head slightly on the left then turn right, - follow the Saint-Denis then the Chapelle street until Porte de la Chapelle, - and there begins the motorway to Brussels. Happy driving! S. -- remplacez "lesptt" par "laposte" pour me joindre substitute "laposte" to "lesptt" to reach me |

A large area of Paris has free street parking in the month of August. This is stated on the parking meters if the particular area has free parking. I see no problem with street parking as long as you avoid keeping valued things in the car. I have not had my car broken into for years. There are areas which I would not parking in overnight, largely in the poorer areas of Paris. Next, the metros are so widely spaces that you'd have no problem finding a parking place within a block of a metro line. Just to suggest our area, near the metro St. Placide, the streets between Cherche-Midi and Vaugirard are, Abbe Gregroire, Rue J. F. Gerbillon, Regis and Berite. Parking is easy to come by in the morning or late afternoons. Parking along Cherche-Midi between St. Placide and Montparnasse is also free in the summer. Rue St Placide is paid parking all year along, however. Use a side street. You are coming down from Belgium and most of this districts outside the city to the North (Aubervillier and Saint Denis) are the areas I would not want to leave my car! I would advise coming into Paris and parking in a residential area of the 5th, 6th, or 7th arrondissement. I think he means he's coming from Valencia, Spain and heading towards Belgium. |
