Left Luggage in CDG

I am travelling through Paris CDG on a tour through Europe for 10 days. I will be carrying a large suitcase that I dont want to lug around on my tour. Is there any facility at CDG / Gare du Nord or elsewhere that I can use to store the bag for approx. 10 days?

For security reasons the Paris airports no longer have left luggage facilities. While Gare du Nord does, I don't know if they allow long-term storage--and it would surely be expensive. Blue Marble Travel (www.bluemarble.org) has both short- and long-term storage that is open to anyone.

Actually they now have luggage storage at CDG again but ONLY for storage over 6 hours with lots of rules. You can read about the service here:

nouryan,

The Web site doesn't give prices, but there is an e-mail address listed. Write and ask for a price quote.

Thanks, I've just emailed them and I'll hopefully get a reply before I leave on Sunday.

I saw the price list somewhere a while back but now I can't find it anywhere online. Next time I'll bookmark it!

For future reference, if anyone else plans on leaving luggage with Bagages du Monde in CDG, the quote I got for 4 pieces of luggage for 7 days was 140 Euro.

If you're on a bus tour then you can tell the guide and driver that you don't need the large bag pulled out every night; it can be stowed at the back of the bus storage. Give the driver a few extra Euros at the end of the tour for doing this.

Or, if your first destination is a hotel in Paris and you're returning to the same hotel at the end of the tour, the hotel will hold the bag for you. I've done this with no problems. Most large hotels (that's what tour groups normally use) have holding rooms for luggage.

nouryan,

I like adrienne's suggestion. However, if that won't work for you, here is another suggestion:

If you have time and are willing to go into Paris, you can store your luggage at Blue Marble Travel, www.bluemarble.org. You don't have to take one of their bike tours to use their short- and long-term storage facilities. I'm sure it will be a lot cheaper than Bagages du Monde.
