Parking Hôtel de Ville, Paris: Rates, Height Limit & Tips

Parking Hôtel de Ville (Saemes) is the Marais's underground workhorse: 505 spaces at 6 quai de Gesvres, open 24/7, at about €3.50/hour, ~€29/24h, €55.40 for two days — with one hard catch: a 1.80 m height limit that excludes vans and roof boxes. From the ramp you surface between the city hall, Notre-Dame and the BHV. The 2026 guide.

What You're On Top Of

  • Hôtel de Ville & BHV: surface and you're there
  • Notre-Dame & Île de la Cité: 6 minutes over the Pont d'Arcole
  • Le Marais: rue de Rivoli's shops and the falafel grid within 10 minutes
  • Métro Hôtel de Ville (1/11): direct line 1 to Louvre, Champs-Élysées, Vincennes
Book the slot online: Saemes's prebooked rates routinely undercut the drive-up tariff — and on summer Saturdays a guaranteed space here is worth more than the discount.
Measure your car: 1.80 m is strict. Modern SUVs with roof rails flirt with the bar — when in doubt, the Lobau/Rivoli alternatives take taller vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

About €29 for 24 hours, €55.40 for two days, €62 for three — hourly is €3.50, all cheaper prebooked online.

1.80 m, enforced at the ramp — vans, campers and tall roof-loaded SUVs won't fit.

24/7 — entry and exit at any hour, which suits Marais dinners that run long.

Six minutes on foot across the Pont d'Arcole — this is arguably the cathedral's most practical garage.

Central Paris street rates (and the SUV surcharge up to €18/h) make €29/day underground the rational choice — plus the scan-cars never visit you down here.
