Storage and bag rules at the Grand Palais

Most visitors reach the Grand Palais planning to spend the day around the Champs-Élysées, and a bag affects how easily you can get around.

The surrounding area is better for getting around than for leaving luggage: Printemps Haussmann has no visitor lockers or cloakroom, while Châtelet les Halles has no left luggage or locker service of its own. The Musée d'Orsay is the most practical nearby anchor for a bag-free visit, with its own RER and Metro connections. The Grand Palais is located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. The Grand Palais has a free self-service cloakroom with lockers on level -1 beneath the central square, accessible via the Square Jean Perrin entrance. Bags larger than 42 x 30 x 20 cm are not allowed anywhere inside the Grand Palais for security reasons. Items left in the self-service lockers must be collected on the same day before the Grand Palais closes. The Grand Palais exhibition spaces stay open until 10:00 pm on Fridays.

Getting to the Grand Palais and nearby sights with luggage

Nine bus lines serve the Grand Palais, and a single bus-tram ticket costs €2.05. The quickest way to move along this stretch of the Champs-Élysées is Metro line 1, which runs from Champs-Élysées - Clemenceau to George V in about two minutes.

For onward travel with bags, Châtelet les Halles has no left luggage or locker service of its own, so a connection there does not offer a chance to drop off a bag. RER line B from Saint-Michel-Notre-Dame provides a direct rail link to Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV.

Printemps Haussmann has no visitor lockers or cloakroom, though it does offer a hands-free shopping service that combines and stores your in-store purchases. It sits at Havre - Caumartin on Metro lines 3 and 9, so if shopping is on your way, remember that only bought items qualify for that service, not the bag you walked in with.

Nearby attractions and their own bag rules

The Musée d'Orsay is open Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30am to 6 pm, with late opening on Thursdays until 9:45pm, and closes on Mondays, May 1, and December 25. It is served by RER C at Musée d'Orsay station and Metro line 12 at Solferino, so it is straightforward to combine it with the Grand Palais by public transport.

The Musée de l'Orangerie sits in the Jardin des Tuileries and houses Monet's Water Lilies, making it a natural second stop on the same riverbank day. Musée d'Orsay station on RER C is also the closest RER station to Place de la Concorde, roughly a 13-minute walk away. Place Vendôme, by contrast, is a public square that is free to visit and accessible 24 hours a day.

Visitors are not permitted to bring large baggage items exceeding 55 x 35 x 20 cm into the Palace of Versailles, so a suitcase needs a different plan for a day trip there.
