Have you just arrived in the Paris Region? Or want to visit one last place before leaving the City of Light? The majority of museums have a cloakroom and left-luggage service in the lobby.

Focus on left-luggage services provided in the greatest cultural institutions of Paris Region.
Louvre Museum
For security reasons, your belongings will be scrupulously inspected on entry to the Louvre Museum. Suitcases and very large bags are purely and simply forbidden inside the museum (public areas and exhibition halls). So, if you wish to drop off your bags before saying hi to Mona Lisa, make sure they are within the size limit: 55 x 35 x 20 cm.
All personal belongings entrusted to the Louvre Museum left-luggage service must be retrieved on the same day. Need further information? Please contact the Louvre directly on +33 (0)1 40 20 53 17.

Practical information and advice
📌 They may be plain common sense, but here’s a little reminder of the rules for left luggage:
- Do not leave any valuable items. Left-luggage services do not always include insurance against loss or theft. So in many cases your bags remain entirely under your responsibility
- It is generally not recommended, and in some cases forbidden, to leave food, drink, hazardous products or explosives in left luggage
- Unless booking via an online storage service, you may need coins, as many left-luggage facilities are not yet fitted with card-payment systems.
