Leaving luggage in Paris

Karen C. said:

Is it possible to leave your excess luggage at the hotel you arrive at in Paris while you walk the camino, assuming you are returning to stay there at the end, on your way home?

It certainly is a possibility! Perhaps you might email the hotel and ask before you book your rooms. See this earlier Forum thread for further suģgestions. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/luggage-storage-in-paris.33863/

Karen you needn't limit yourself to Paris. We took the train to Bordeaux and stayed a few days in a B&B either side of our Camino. Our most gracious host minded our main luggage and wouldn't accept any payment for this service. I found Bordeaux far more relaxing than Paris but there are also many options in Paris if that's what you decide.

One time, I stored my baggage at CDG Airport in Paris for 1 day. I organised my flights so that I had a full day off between connecting flights. I trained it into Paris for lunch, a walk, and a coffee. This temp storage cost me a lot of money. Don't do it this way.

Presumably, you'll be away from Paris for about a month. My guess is it will cost you a lot of money if you use the hotel for storage. Try to find a user-friendly, less mainstream solution. Try a large train station - there are (I think) 4 biggies in Paris but I'm not sure about longterm storage there. Cumbersome but less financially painful, is my guess - you might be able to rent a locker by the month.

It might be too inconvenient for you to double back to your Camino start point on your way to Paris from (?) Santiago. Wokabout_Meri has offered some solutions. I'd contact her.
