Luggage storage and bag rules at the Eiffel Tower

Many visitors arrive at the Eiffel Tower with a suitcase, only to find it cannot come up with them, and the surrounding area offers no obvious place to leave it.

The tower itself has no left-luggage or cloakroom for the public, and large bags are refused entry altogether. The closest staffed station facility is several stops away at Gare Montparnasse, which runs its own left-luggage desk inside Concourse 1. Nearby cultural stops like the Palais de Tokyo are equally strict, permitting only small bags that fit their lockers. A luggage sizer at the security checks lets staff confirm whether your bag is too large to bring inside. If you are planning your visit around a luggage drop-off, budget at least 1.5 hours for the first two floors and 2.5 hours if you are going all the way to the top. The tower opens daily at 9:30 am and closes at 11:45 pm, with summer hours extending from 9:00 am to 12:45 am. Your Eiffel Tower ticket will show a specific entry time, and you are expected to arrive at the time indicated. A standard adult elevator ticket costs 23,50€ to the second floor or 36,70€ to the top.

Getting to the Eiffel Tower with luggage

Champ de Mars-Tour Eiffel station on RER line C sits five minutes' walk from Entrance 1, while Bir-Hakeim on Metro line 6 is the closest metro stop, less than ten minutes from the same entrance. Bus lines 82, 30, and 42 are about a five-minute walk from Entrance 2. If you're driving, the Quai Branly – Tour Eiffel public car park is just over five minutes on foot from Entrance 2. None of these approaches change the fact that you cannot bring a large bag up the tower itself, so sorting storage before you arrive makes the whole journey simpler.

Nearby attractions and their bag rules

Palais de Tokyo, a contemporary art centre between the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Élysées, also forbids suitcases and large bags. It only permits bags smaller than 55cm x 35cm x 20cm, and those must be left in the cloakroom or lockers.

If you're passing through Gare Montparnasse on the way, the station's own left-luggage service operates in Concourse 1, level 2, near track 24 in the taxi lane next to the Lost & Found office. That gives you a staffed option at the station itself, though it may not be the most convenient detour if the Eiffel Tower is your main destination.
