storing luggage for 10 days in Paris?
We are flying via Paris to West Africa in November. We have 24 hours in Paris before heading to Togo for 10 days. We'll spend a week in Paris after Africa. We'd like to check a bag or two in Paris for ten days since we don't want to drag our warmer Paris clothes, etc with us to Togo. We'd have time to take our bags into Paris from CDG if there was a company that would hold the bags for us. We'll be staying in an apartment in Paris, so a hotel won't be an option for holding our bags. Any suggestions?

Haven't used them, but read about them somewhere: http://www.bluemarble.org/ParisLuggage.html

You could check online to see if the large train stations (such as Gare du Nord) have luggage lockers or left luggage which is manned. At Kings Cross in London they have left luggage where you pay per item, per 24 hour period, your luggage is x-rayed and you receive a ticket so you can reclaim. I would think the train stations in Paris may have something similar.
Have you checked online to see whether the airport has left luggage? Sounds like that might be easier for you.

There is no left luggage at any airport but all the major train stations will hve it. AT gare de nord it s a bit hard to gfind as it is downstairs from the main concourse but someone will be sure to help you if you ask

There didn't used to be at the airport but the above company started it, I think it's been a couple years now. They don't actually store it at the airport which is why they are allowed to do it, I imagine. It's basically a luggage check service and they take the bags elsewhere. SO you can't do it for just a few hours, for example.

Actually, it's probably not good info. Jordi has been conducting a guerilla marketing effort on TA all day, with of course all the posts being deleted. Someone else on TA said s/he'd looked for one of those facilities and came up only with some abandoned warehouse.

At the Montparnasse train station there is a large area with lockers of varying sizes. To get inside you first pass through a TSA-style check point (with scanner etc.), then once inside you go find a vacant locker or two and you pay etc., it's self-service from there on. I don't remember how we paid, and I don't know how you would go about paying for so long in advance.
Details are here - in French but selfexplanatory:

Other train stations quite likely have similar arrangements

Wow the city locker idea is great to know about-we always have friends coming to visit us in France (not in Paris) that seem to need that service if they stop off for a bit in Paris just leave a suitcase. Notice on their FAQs that their maximum size is L 48cm x H61 cm x P85 cm so may not work for larger stuff but would be good for a most suitcases.
BTW the above link doesn't seem to work since it is missing the .com part. Here is the link in English if others have trouble accessing it:
