I will be driving from St Cloud through the Bois into the 16th arr. of Paris on a Saturday in July this year. Although I have driven a lot within Paris and enjoy the experience, I try to avoid parking on the street or in the public garages, opting to pay for private parking in a hotel garage or similar places.

I will be easing into the 16th and leaving the vehicle for the day/evening, and going back to St Cloud around 8 pm. Would appreciate any specific suggestions re: hotels or other places that might allow a non hotel guest to pay for parking in their garage or lot for the day/evening, not overnight.

I will be concentrating on the area withing 6 blocks of the Place Victor Hugo, and of course, want to avoid getting within a block or so of the Etoile. It is so easy on the weekend to pierce the veil of Paris through the Bois into the sixteenth arr., but parking is always the deal.Thanks for any info you might send my way.
