Where to park?
Near our place
The first option is to park on rue Sébastien Gryphe. But be careful, parking spaces are paid from 8am to 7pm! The parking meter is just a few meters away and it will cost you €2 per hour. Backpackers, don’t wear yourself out with your luggage: you can get a free 15-minute ticket on our street to come and drop off your bags at reception :) Quieter and less crowded (but still paid) and located just behind the Flâneur (parallel to rue S. Gryphe): rue Mazagran. You can’t miss it, it leads to the orange square. And finally, for €15/day, people with reduced mobility (PMR) can get a reserved spot (ask at reception if needed).
For explorers and adventurers
For easy and especially cheaper parking, you can head to the Jean Macé train station a few hundred meters from the Flâneur. Once you’ve passed the railway tracks, you’ll find several free parking areas. You can also park in a park-and-ride at different city entrances: Gorge de Loup, Gare de Vaise, Mermoz-Pinel, etc. To use them, all you need to do is take the TCL network once during the day.
