#2 - Can I store my stuff at a Paris hotel if I’m not staying there?
If you’re not a guest, most Paris hotels won’t let you store your things there without a fee. Some do, but left luggage services are often cheaper and faster. If you are staying at a hotel, most hotels let you drop off your bag early on your check-in date and pick it up late on your check-out date. Ask your hotel if you can store it there for longer.
#3 - Where can I store my luggage near major Paris train stations?
Major Paris train stations are well-served by luggage storage options. You have a few options:
Inside the station, you have SCNF storage lockers. These are run by the train service and are available inside the station. You can usually book these for up to 72 hours. They cost from 5,50€ per small locker to 9,50€ per large locker per day. Open from 6 am - 11 pm daily.
Outside of the station, you have 2 kinds of private luggage services:
- Luggage storage apps, like Bounce (hey, that’s us!), Stasher, and Nannybag, let you book a storage spot in local businesses like shops, restaurants, and hotels. These services also offer bag protection guarantees and 24/7 support.
- Local luggage storage shops and lockers. These stores aren’t available on the major luggage storage apps but can still store your luggage. Some, like City Locker, have lockers that are similar to SCNF lockers.
#4 - Does the Paris metro have luggage storage or lockers?
No. Unlike major train stations, there is no storage inside Paris metro stations. There are luggage storage options within a 5-minute walk of most major metro stations, but none directly in the station.
#5 - Can I store my luggage at Charles de Gaulle Airport?
Yes, you can store your luggage at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. The airport has a luggage storage facility operated by Bagages du Monde, located in Terminal 2, near the railway station on Level 4, opposite the Sheraton Hotel. This location is accessible from Terminals 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, and 2F. If you’re arriving at Terminals 1 or 3, you can reach Terminal 2 using the CDGVAL shuttle train.
Hours:
- Every day from 07:00 to 21:00
Storage starts at €6 per bag for 3 hours and €16 for 24 hours.
The closest Bounce location is a short drive away, but prices are much lower. Often, the best choice for travelers is to store their items near their accommodation or at the metro station Chatelet-Les Halles, since it is on the train line to CDG airport and is a major hub for trains and subways.
#6 - Can I store my luggage at Orly Airport?
Paris Orly Airport doesn’t have official luggage storage facilities within its terminals. There are some services with luggage storage nearby:
Many people choose to store near where they are staying, instead of directly in Orly airport.
#7 - Can I store my luggage near major Paris landmarks?
Yes, you can. There are tons of locations near Paris Landmarks.
#8 - What’s the best luggage storage option in Paris?
It depends on where you’re going. At train stations, SCNF lockers are the most popular choice. Bounce has 24/7 locations near many major train stations, so if you need late night storage, want to book in advance, or want the comfort of booking with the #1 most popular luggage storage app in the world, go with Bounce.
Around the city, luggage storage apps are the best choice. They have the most coverage, often less than a 5-minute walk from major attractions like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, or popular neighborhoods like Le Marais or the Latin Quartier.
Bounce is the #1 luggage storage network in the world, but other choices include LuggageHero, Stasher, and Nannybag. If you’re staying in a hotel, you can just store your things there.
You can also find dedicated storage shops around Paris that store your luggage. These are often more expensive than luggage storage apps, but some travelers enjoy them.
The bottom line: Overall, these are all good options. The overwhelming majority of customers have good experiences regardless of which option they choose.
#9 - What long-term luggage storage options are there in Paris?
In SCNF lockers at some train stations, you can leave your baggage for up to 14 days. But in others, you don’t have that option. Look at the list of stations, find the one you need, and check the possible storage time and prices.
You can also store your bags for a longer period at Charles de Gaulle Airport. The price for storing hand baggage for 24 hours is €16. For the second, third, and fourth days, you’d pay €8 per day; from the fifth day, the price is €31 per day.
City Locker is another option. The cost for one day is €2 per locker, for two weeks €205.01, and for one month, it’s €460.01. You can store luggage for even longer there.
The last and cheapest option is to use a luggage storage app. Bounce can store your stuff securely for months! For only €2.90 per day and €10,000 in bag protection, you can have a great time in Paris.

#11 - What are the top tips for storing luggage in Paris?
So glad you asked. A few things to keep in mind:
- The location is the most important thing to get right. All of the services on this page can keep your bags stored securely and many travelers use them successfully every day.
- The most convenient location may be where you’re going, not where you are right now. If you’re at the airport, it could be worth taking your bag with you into the city for better hours and much cheaper storage.
- Keep your travel documents with you. Yes, all these options are secure. Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to keep your passport on you at all times. If something is irreplaceable, don’t leave it in a locker or storage service, even though these are quite secure.
- Check the hours for where you store your bags. If you need to pick up or drop off your bags late, make sure you choose locations that are available for you.
- Use Bounce! We’re biased, but we’re the world’s #1 luggage storage network for a reason. We hope you have a safe and pleasant trip in Paris and that you feel so much freer once your heavy bags aren’t slowing you down. Bon voyage!
