Paris Parking?
Discussion
Hi Ross, was there in August although not staying in the same part. There seem to be plenty of garage parking out there, all underground, manned 24 hours, classical music playing, hand car wash that type of thing. We payed about £46 for 2 days which seemed reasonable to me. The hotel will point you to the nearest one.
The vast majority of Paris car parks are underground, most are old and look like architectural afterthoughts. Almost all are designed with the Twingo in mind. I would not even try to park a DBS in one of these. If you can get in, chances are you will be crying when you leave with your damaged alloys.
The best place to go would be the underground car park on the Champs Elysées, just drive down from the Arc de Triomphe and you will see the entrance signs on the right hand side. Reasonable costs for parking in central paris, petrol station in there too. Main bonus is the relatively gentle entrance/exits which suit low and wide cars. The car park spaces are also pretty wide for Paris so less chance of picking up any dings.
I have seen some very nice metal down there so you should be in good company.

priorité à droite! Love it 
Arc de Triomphe is fine, just take it easy and look ahead. Reality is you don't need a car to move around in Paris unless it's business and you want to be moving between the centre and La Defense for example. Rest is far nicer to see on foot, plus the Metro is cheap and a pleasure compared to the Tube. Park up and enjoy the city/wine by foot.
