Parking in the city is paid, and in order not to miscalculate the choice, it is worth considering the presence of two main options.

1. City streets.

This is the least budget option. For 5 hours of parking you will pay 35 euros. 1 hour in the cheapest areas costs 0.50 euros.

2. Underground car parks

There are dozens of such car parks in the center. And if we talk about prices, then, for example, the parking Center historique - Petite France offers to pay 4.80 euros for 4 hours of parking.
