On-street parking in Paris can get very expensive if you don't pay attention to where you are going to park and on how long you are planning of staying.
In Paris, there are 3 parking zones:
The red zone which is the most expensive zone: 4€ for an hour for example.
The orange zone which is more advantageous: 2€40 for one hour.
The black zone is prohibited in the parking lot, it is reserved for pedestrians..
Parking is charged from 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday.
Therefore, we advise you to park in the orange zone so that it is cheaper, see the zones on the map:
Park and Ride Parking
Paris is a city rich in public transport: subway, RER and BUS are at your disposal for your travels.
That's why we advise you to use them and to park your car in one of these P+R parkings which will be cheaper.
There are many park and ride lots in Paris, of different sizes. These parkings have the advantage of being secure and offer, for example, recharging stations for electric vehicles. For example, the parking near Cergy le Haut can hold up to 1137 cars.
The Eiffel Tower, what a beautiful building, any good tourist will want to visit it.

La défense is a business district. If you have to go there, don't fall into the trap of paying for parking! Indeed, only twenty minute away by walk from La Défense, there are many free parking zones! You must take advantage of them!
If you need to get to the very centre of Paris to visit the Louvre Museum, the Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris or to relax in the Tuileries Gardens, we advise you to use public transport and to leave your vehicle in a park and ride. Indeed, the centre of Paris is exclusively in the red zone, the most expensive parking zone, which makes it not very interesting to park there.
