Luggage storage at Gare de Lyon

Many travellers passing through Gare-de-Lyon arrive hours before a train or with time to kill between connections, and a bag quickly becomes a burden.

The station itself is well set up for moving through with luggage, with step-free access on Metro line 14 and several waiting areas. Nearby, the Jardin des Plantes bans suitcases larger than 55 cm x 35 cm x 20 cm, and the Place des Vosges has no storage of its own, so check the rules before heading to either.

Nearby gardens and squares: bag rules

If you're heading to the Jardin des Plantes, it's served by the Gare d'Austerlitz station and Jussieu among others, both a short ride from Gare de Lyon. Place de la Bastille is just over a kilometre from Gare de Lyon, so it's a natural first stop if you're walking east from the station.

Place des Vosges itself has no luggage storage, though the Maison de Victor Hugo inside the square offers a free cloakroom for museum visitors only, taking bags up to 40 cm x 30 cm x 20 cm. It is served by Saint-Paul, Chemin Vert, and Bastille stations.

Visitors are prohibited from bringing suitcases or large bags exceeding 55 cm x 35 cm x 20 cm into the Jardin des Plantes, so leave larger bags behind before visiting. Access to the Jardin des Plantes grounds is free of charge. Place des Vosges is known for its uniform 17th-century architecture featuring red brick buildings with stone quoins and slate roofs.

Moving through the station with luggage

Gare de Lyon handles both intercity services like TGV Sud-Est and TGV Lyria to Switzerland, and local traffic via RER A, RER D, and Line R, so the concourse stays busy, and it's wise to keep bags close at hand. Metro line 14 offers step-free access by lift at this station, which helps if you're wheeling a large case. There are seven waiting areas if you arrive early, and a dedicated Disabled Passenger Assistance service with accessible toilets in Halls 2 and 3.
