Parking in Paris, is 24 euros a day good?

Hello, hubby and his friend( who lives in UK) will be visiting Paris this June. They plan on driving over to Calais,, then onto Paris. After a few days in Paris , hubbys friend is travelling on to visit friends in Belguim .

Question is,, the hotel where I have them booked said there is parking near by ( Hotel Des Mines on Boulevard St Michel just past Luxembourg gardens) for 24 euros a day. Since they have no intention of using car in Paris, I was wondering, is there somewhere else they could park ,, nearer the perimeter ,, for less money, and just take the metro into city?

Thanks

€ 24 per 24 hours is not uncommon. Go to www.vincipark.com - there you can find all the parkings of this company, the prices vary. Their parking %26quot;Pasteur-Montparnasse%26quot; in the 15th arrondissement is cheaper (€ 17). In the 13 th, they have a parking %26quot;Vincent Auriol%26quot; that has a three-day offer for € 28, and %26quot;Porte d%26#39;Italie%26quot; for € 10 per 24 hrs.

That is a pretty good price for 24 hours. We found a hotel (Bestwestern) in the 13 e that charged us 16 euros per day last year. It may have gone up but you had to stay there.

Parking Le Chateau at St Germain en Laye -EUR 10 per day through vincipark.com. RER line A (right next door to parking ) direct to central Paris less than EUR4 per person. We used this in December and it worked like a dream.

Hello Joan,

I´m an expert about finding a hotel with moderately priced parking because we will drive from Prague in September for 7 nights and didn´t want to pay 24 E or more/day! So I searched and searched and ... searched for a nice hotel within walking distance from that kind of underground garage and I finally decided to book a hotel in 12e with parking 96 Boulevard de Picpus 37 euros per 3

days +12 euros per extra day.

Hope that helps.
