February 8, 2008 in Airport, Charles de Gaulle (CDG), DisneyLand Paris, Eurostar | No comments

Paris train stations will have luggage storage services (known as consignes in French) ranging in different sizes and costs. Most major train stations (Gare de Lyon, Gare du Nord, Montparnasse, Gare de l’Est, Gare d’Austerlitz) and airports (Charles de Gaulle- CDG / Orly) offer baggage storage options. Luggage can be stored in the locker for up to 72 hours and are very useful when you have a layover in Paris. Knowing how to find and use the baggage storage services offered at Paris train stations can help ease your stay & travel in Paris and throughout France.
In order to use the consigne, all items will pass an airport style security machine. Note that electronic goods including laptops CANNOT be stored in the lockers.
