If you want to come to Paris by car to visit the Eiffel Tower, you will find several parking lots within 5 to 10 minutes' walk of the monument's entrances.
It is best to use a paid parking lot, as on-street spaces are harder to find and generally more expensive. Parking in the 7th and 15th arrondissements of Paris costs between €4 and €6 an hour, compared with €3.30 an hour in a parking lot.
To park, we recommend the Quai Branly-Tour Eiffel parking lot, at 25 Quai Branly, 75007 PARIS, open until
This is one of the closest parking lots to the Tower, and in particular to Entrance 2 of the monument (just a 5-minute walk away). It is also one of the cheapest covered parking lots in the area.
Below is a list of other parking lots near the monument:
• Pullman Tour Eiffel, 18 Avenue de Suffren, 75007 Paris, open 24 hours a day
• Sainte Dominique, 133 Rue Sainte Dominique, 75007 Paris
• Joffre Ecole Militaire, 2 place Joffre, 75007 Paris, open 24 hours a day
For disabled visitors, the Quai Branly-Tour Eiffel and Pullman Tour Eiffel parking lots are the best choice as they have accessible parking spaces and facilities.
