Luggage Storage at Gare du Nord

Does anyone have experience with the luggage storage at Gare du Nord? I need to store my luggage for part of a day. Please let me know your experience. Thanks!

timotheus:

There is a large luggage storage on the lower floor of the western end in the main concourse. Access is by a security check similar to the one of an airport. Lockers are of the self-serve pay-on-deposit kind.

Depending on the number of travellers, it may take up to half an hour to get past the security check and lock up your luggage, so plan ahead.

Enjoy your trip

Phil

Thanks for the information Phil! Is it the same type of wait to get past security to pick up our luggage? Thanks!

Should have also asked....are the large lockers large enough to hold a few bags? I have 2 large suitcases and a few backpacks. Thanks!

There are different sizes of lockers. I put a 22 inch trolley an a rucksack into a medium-sized locker with room to spare.

The last time I used the lockers at Gare du Nord, there were mice everywhere. They didn't seem to mind humans screaming and running. But that was about 6 years ago. Hopefully they are gone now.

Anybody knows the price? I assume the lockers are coin operated, one always seem not to have the right amount of coing.

In summer of 2006, my husband, two teenagers and I stored 4 suitcases (21-inch size) and 4 daypacks in one large locker at Gare du Nord for 7 Euros.

Can anyone tell me whether this information is still valid? Our plane arrives at 6:10am and we can't check into our apartment until 2:00, so I was considering storing our luggage at the Gare du Nord as a good option. Have the mice now become expert pickpockets or have they all moved to another train station? We are staying near the Canal St. Martin, so storing lugguage at either the Gare du Nord or Gare de L'est seem to be the best option that I can find. Any suggestions?

The lockers at Gare du Nord are open from 6:15 to 23:30 every day.
