Zenpark is a platform specializing in renting parking spaces: by the hour, by the day, and even by the month! It offers more than 12,000 parking spaces in 200 cities in France and Belgium.. It is on the basis of this data that a large barometer is created every year, which allows us to see the change in parking prices in cities. As every year, there are great differences between the metropolises and cities of France, and sometimes obvious changes from one city to another! Here are important lessons we can learn…

As you can imagine, at the top of the rankings Paris is the most expensive city for parking: expect an average of €5 park for just one hour on the road! Grenoblein Isere, took second place at a price of 2.50 euros per hour Rennes in Ile and Vilen. The “Top-5” is now closed Bordeaux (Gironde) for €2.30 per hour and Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin) for €2 per hour. On the contrary, in which cities do you pay the least for parking? In Marseille! The town of Phocaea is only asking for €1.50 for one hour of street parking. Next comes Montpellier (Heroes) at €1.60 per hour, compared to Lyon (Rhône). Lille and Nantes are asking €1.70 and €1.90…

+ 61.3% growth in Rennes!

Irregularities that are not finally revealed there is no trend by region, each city freely sets the prices it wishes to apply. On the other hand, some of them have ungodly revised the prices in the direction of increase! This is especially true in Lyon, where prices increased by 6.7% between 2022 and 2023, and Montpellier by +23.1%! worse, Strasbourg grew by 42.9% and Rennes by 61.3%! In 2022, parking in the Breton capital would cost you €1.55, compared to €2.50 today. These developments are fixed in an increasingly anti-car context in French metropolitan areas : ZFE, ZTL and now taxes by weight in recent months it has been multiplying there!
