Is there a place in the Paris airport I can put my large equipment while I have a 9 hour layover?

Question

I have a 9 hour layover in Paris, and would like to go out to see some of the sites. However, I will be traveling with some large and expensive photography equipment that I may bring on as a carryon. Do any of the paris airports have a place I may store these items securely? Any suggestions.

Answer 1

One idea would be to book a room at the Charles-de-Gaulle airport Ibis Hotel. The rooms are cheap (79 euros per night) but you can also book them by the hour (something lile 11 euros per hour I think).

The hotel is about 200 meter walk from Terminal 3 (If you land at Terminal 1 or 2, you can take the CDG Val free train shuttle - 5 minutes)

Definitely the best option. There are also many other hotels to choose from (Sheraton, Etap....), but I believe Ibis is the cheapest...

Answer 2

you might have trouble taking large expensive photo equipment as a cabine baggage at all.

The anti-terrorism rules have made carrying such stuff difficult.

Answer 3

There are NO Luggage (Les Consigns) facilities at any Paris airport.

For reasons of safety the luggage locker services have been suspended at Roissy-CDG in compliance with the anti-terrorist VIGIPIRATE Plan.
