Park and Ride in the Suburbs of Paris?
February 22, 2005 10:40 PM Subscribe
I'm looking for a safe/convenient/cheap place on the outskirts of Paris to park a car for a few days.
I'm going to be in Europe for a few weeks with a car, but I'd like to spend a few days downtown. My experiences in big cities with good public transportation lead me to believe that this is a decent idea, avoiding high costs and urban headaches. If someone has advice and/or directions about where I can park, that would be great. If someone has input about why this is a bad idea in Paris, I'd like to hear that too.

I drove to Paris once a few years ago, found a place on a street in the 17ème and just left it for a few days. I didn't pay anything, no one messed with it. I suppose it helped that it was on le weekend. I wouldn't fancy driving into Paris at rush hour on a weekday.

It depends where you're coming from with your car ?
and how long you will stay in Paris ?
If you stay in Paris your hotel may have a car park or a direction for a public car park,
The prices in a public car park ( un parking public ) for 24h is about 20 Euro.
Something else concerning Paris, it's maybe easier to go inside Paris leave your car for a few days than get lost in the suburb...
on this map you ll see Paris in the middle ( only 10 km from east to west ) and all the towns around .
About driving in Paris it depends if you're Italian or British ...
For some more help send me a mail,
