As with all modes of transportation I have used in Europe, France, and Paris, the car as far as I am concern is king. They can find all the alternatives they want but the car is here to stay and whatever form they make it . Now is all kinds from something call hybrid to electrical and else. I have said love the freedom of movement and my road warrior trips in Europe allows to see all the wonderful things these countries and cities have to offer. I like to bring you on to my car parkings of Paris!!! Hope you enjoy the freedom of movement…! This post will be on my black and white series, no pictures!
I saw an older post on one of my nearest parking to work in Paris, which sometimes I dare drop public transport and come by car, my favorite travel tool. There is no longer a parking there as the folks change to do more garage repairs work but here for the memories. The former New-York Garage, 38, rue du Mont-Thabor ,1éme! Another parking with a nostalgic twist now is at Parking de L’Église above ground by the Church of Pantin (see post) located at 147 Av. Jean Lolive, on city limits of Pantin in Seine Saint Denis dept 93 I used to come early on with my dear late wife Martine, and her VW Golf car and parked here so we can take the public transports into Paris, as she was not apt for that, me later on did started driving in Paris for the better, The other above ground parking we used was at 3 Pl Joffre by the école militaire wonderful spot to move about and visit friends in Paris. Of course, there were many on the street parking over the years all over, never a problem for me the road warrior.
However, over the years I have used many underground parkings in Paris, all over ! I took it as a homework to try to remember, them all and do a post on them, I guess I am been nostalgic but me think worth it for the good memories and a repeat soon. Hope you enjoy the list and can use them in your travels. Oh yes you can drive in Paris, well posted no problems and guide yourselves by the Seine river, remember rive gauche or left bank and rive droite or right bank, Happy motoring folks !
I will list them in no particular order just jotted down as I remembered them. The one stop parking webpage onepark is very good as it gives you districts and sights with parkings nearby in English ; however, there are plenty of others such as the individual parking management companies such as Saemes ,Effia or Indigo, etc.

There you go folks, do not be afraid of driving in Paris regardless of what so call expert travel publications tells you; remember, I went thru the same, came first visiting and then residing. Paris is eternal and thanks to Mr Haussmann , a great place to drive into not around mind you, but in and out , the best. Unless things gets worse thanks to the socialist mayor of Paris! Hope you enjoy the post and each parking has plenty to see around on foot, which is afterall the best way to see any city.
And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all!!!
