allanb Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I want to go to Paris by car, but I won't need the car while I'm there, and I don't want to pay city-centre parking charges. Does anyone know of any reasonably secure parking in the outskirts (preferably south or south-west) within reach of the RER or metro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardbk Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 There are many. prices are around around 120 - 140 euros/month.Porte d'orleans parking is quite useful. Edge of city next to meteo. Tarifs here http://www.saemes.fr/parking/Parking_porte-d-orleans_tarifs.phpand also for other car parks. http://www.parkingsdeparis.com/reservation-voiture-carte.phpAll long term tariffs give multiple entry/return and many use a "blip" device to go directly through barrier (usually a deposit is required) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 [quote user="allanb"]I want to go to Paris by car, but I won't need the car while I'm there ... [/quote]How about a one-way car hire to Paris ? When there check the car back in to the hirers, then the reverse on your return. Some hire firms will do this. I cannot remember which firms now but we looked into this when my DH needed to fly from Paris to Faro and back with too much luggage to be able to manage on the train.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanb Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thank you both for the suggestions.Suein56: there are reasons why I want to take my own car this time. But I'll bear that idea in mind for other trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 When we drove up to Paris, we actually stayed in a hotel in Versailles which offered free enclosed parking as part of the deal - easy to get to, and easy to get into Paris on the RER; we bought a carnet of tickets (or it's possible to get tickets of variable durations) so it worked out cheaper for the travel into Paris.Admittedly it's about 20 mins on the train but for the three/four days we were there we though it was worth the stress-free part of not trying to drive in/around Paris itself, plus we spent a day in Versailles anyway.May not suit what you're doing but it's a thoughtLou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneySuckleDreams Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 croissy sur seine. Just across the river. I parked the car on the street for nothing, on one of the side streets, Route Du Roi. it's just around the corner from the british school so it's quite safe. Worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 "it's just around the corner from the british school so it's quite safe."I don't know the area you're talking about at all, but your comment makes it sound like the reason it's safe is because of the British school !! I'm sure you didn't mean to imply that Brits = safe, French = dodgy, did you?[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
