I was going back to America and didn't want to take my luggage with me so I looked around and…read moredecided on this location because it was closest to me (I was near Jardin des Plantes). I called ahead of time and was told that the smallest 1m2 wasn't available but they gave me the 2m2 for the same price. They allowed me to use my American information (address) to rent and because they don't take American Express, they allowed me to pay in cash. I hope they will one day take Amex because I haven't been able to pay my bill (I have to wait until I get back to pay in euros), but they assured me they are looking into offering it. Before you leave, if you're leaving the country, give them your bank routing information so they can auto draft payment, otherwise you'll have to wire, and American banks charge $35-50 for international wire transfers. The process of renting the storage was easy enough. I didn't have a printer so they allowed me to email the documents needed to rent and they printed all of it for me. It took about 10 minutes to fill out the paperwork. You probably want to bring your own lock because it's more expensive to purchase it there but Timothy was a tremendous help (I was booking the storage the day I was leaving so I didn't have a lot of time and was pretty stressed from running around all morning). I definitely recommend it for how helpful they've been.

So, I needed a locker for a day bc I had time between my airbnb checkout in the morning and my…read moreevening train out of Paris, and I didn't want to shlep my luggage around all day. The one I used was Gare Nord. The door is locked when you arrive, and you need to use your specific door code to open it (listed on your booking confirmation), which seemed extra secure to me. The locker was easy to open and use and there was enough space for my backpack and carryon. I initially had trouble opening the door, and so I called the phone number listed on my booking reservation and the guy walked me through how to do it on the pin pad. He was really nice and helpful. Overall the price was reasonable for me (12 bucks for a day) too. I would highly recommend if you're not wanting to lug your stuff around the city for a day.

I just used this service near Gare du Nord August 14-17, 2022. I'm from California and I chose…read morethis option as I needed to go to London and then back to Paris and didn't need to bring everything with me. I saw the reviews here and was hesitant but saw these around Paris and many people using them. So you go online and book the time range you want and make sure to pick the correct location. You will pay for the entire day and the day is 8am to 10pm so the day you start and the day you end are counted as whole days and keep in mind their opening hours. The location is automated there is no live person there but the owner is easily accessible and responsive and they have video cameras there to monitor for any issues and for security. More about that below. Once you pay online you get an email immediately with the codes. There are two codes, one to enter the facility(main front door) using a keypad outside. The second code is used to open your locker using a keypad inside. The locker will pop open. The lockers are a good size you could put several carryons in there or larger suitcases but check the dimensions online. If you close the door and need to open again just use the code again. It is secure and seems theft proof. When I entered there was a family with children using it and they had several suitcases. This is a very short walk about 4-5 minutes or two blocks from the train station exit on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis. It is in an alley off that street very easy to find. Now it is true that the keypad inside doesn't always work the first time. You don't need to panic and start entering the code and pressing buttons like crazy. Just take a deep breath and wait 10 seconds and enter the code again nice and slow. Don't press the keypad like you're text messaging your friends. If you hear any beeps while pressing the keys it means there's an error just wait. When you enter the keys there shouldn't be any beeps. To exit the place there is an exit button inside right at the door. Just press and the front door lock releases. You do not get stuck inside or need a code to get out. Just like many hotel gyms same thing. I had interaction with the owner as my train back from London was delayed and arriving after 10pm so I wouldn't make the 10pm closing time. I was worried as I had a flight the next morning. Apparently this time restriction may be for safety reasons. So on the train back to Paris, I called their number and heard a message machine - not a great sign but you could leave a message. I decided to use their online form which asks for your phone number and email. It says they will get back to you within 48 hours on the website but he got back to me in 5 minutes. He got me a code for the next morning and everything worked out.
