Parking in Paris is not an easy task. And it is not for nothing that you should already be able to find a place that is far from obvious. But that’s not all, because payment is also a real gloom. Because finding a parking meter is sometimes an obstacle course. In addition, you need to hurry until the Streeteo machine, which is responsible for automatic ticketing, passes by. Not to mention, of course, the price, which is also very, very salty. short, park your car in the capital it would be even more difficult than moving around.

📰 Heavy and bulky SUVs contradict the city’s adaptation to climate change. They are not normal in a city like Paris.

new rules

Few people know, but there are exceptional cases when parking in Paris is absolutely free. Of course, they are rare and concern, in particular, certain medical professionals, as well as people with limited mobility. Be careful, though, because you’ll still need to get them to use the free service ticket with the inscription “free”. They must then attach it behind the windscreen to avoid a parking fine. Look for logic. But luckily, that is changing now. And this is good!

It’s easier

From the beginning of the academic year, people with a mobility card (CMI) will be able to register their car through license plates in online form. This measure also applies to health workers. This should make life much easier for them, and it is very difficult to appeal the fine, despite the free parking. Last year over 4,000 FPS had to be appealed and only half was refunded.
