Luggage Storage
 
Is there any storage for luggage at or near Paris CDG airport or main Paris train stations? I am planning a stopover in France for several days en route to Morocco. I will travel around France by train and would prefer to travel "light".
Thanks!

Last time I was at Montparnasse train station, there was an extensive storage facility on a mezzanine level, halfway down from street level to the trains if I remember rightly.

To get into the facility we passed through a TSA-style security check, then we chose a locker. I seem to remember that we needed coins, but I'm not sure.

That was pre-Bataclan, and things change, so look into it before taking my word for it.

The formerly-named Cars Air France, now http://en.lebusdirect.com, have a service, Line 4, from Montparnasse station to CDG, for 17 Euros, a very good deal.

does not Gare du Nord still have luggage storage -if so hop RER from CDG to Gare du Nord - but there may be a limit of 72 hours I think -same at Montparnasse I think-not sure if you can store luggage for longer at stations- they may take stuff out of locker and keep it for you but at a possibly steep charge.

Coco's links may tell about that.

Look into shipping it all by FedEx, etc to Morocco either in Paris or from home - may be cheaper than storage.

Here is my definitive source of bag storage sites in Paris and CDG:

http://www.unepieceenplus.com/

Some of these locations can store all of your luggage and then some for up to an entire more for less than 50€.

If you intend to stay even 1 night in Paris, at the beginning or at the end of your few days, simply book a hotel and leave it there. It's something I do regularly when I don't want to haul everything around and will, or can, return to my point of origin. And it need not be an expensive hotel.

This year I stayed near the Gare du Nord for 1 night, having left my bag there for several days prior. Many hotels, if not most, in every price bracket are happy to do it as an inducement to have you book. No need to pay for the privilege, I never have and if you inquire and they mention cost, just find another that doesn't.
