Parking Père-Lachaise, Paris

If you’re searching for parking Père-Lachaise, the key is choosing between metered street spaces (with strict hours and limits) and private, bookable spots you can reserve before you arrive.

Book private parking near Père-Lachaise with Mobypark (skip the street hunt)

Mobypark lets you reserve private parking spots that owners aren’t using day-to-day—like hotel parking, office building spaces, private driveways, and unused garage areas. Instead of relying on what happens to be available on the day, you can secure a place for your dates and arrive with less time pressure (especially useful during busy cemetery periods).

Street parking near the cemetery (Zone 2): hours, rates, free windows

On-street parking around Père-Lachaise follows Paris Zone 2 visitor rules: paid hours are Monday to Saturday, 9:00–20:00, at about €4 per hour. It’s free on Sundays and public holidays, and also free overnight (from 20:00 to 9:00 the next morning).

If you plan to stay longer than a quick stop, street parking can become expensive because the meter keeps running—this is where booking a private spot on Mobypark can be a simpler alternative to constantly monitoring time.

How long you can stay (and why limits matter)

For visitors, the on-street maximum consecutive stay is 6 hours on the same spot. Resident holders with the right permit can typically stay up to 7 days consecutively—so if you don’t have a resident permit, don’t plan around longer stays.

When your visit could run past the 6-hour window, reserving with Mobypark helps you avoid last-minute scrambling and plan around your actual timing instead of the street limit.

Can you drive into Père-Lachaise by car?

Vehicle access inside Père-Lachaise is restricted: cars can enter only for people aged 75+, people with an invalidity card/CMI, or people with a recent medical certificate (less than 1 year) justifying the need to drive. There’s no online request—just present the documents at the entrance.

The two vehicle entrances are the Porte Principale (Boulevard de Ménilmontant) and the Porte Gambetta (Rue des Rondeaux). Inside, speed is limited to 20 km/h, and parking on sidewalks is prohibited. If you’re not eligible to enter by car, you’ll need a nearby place to park first—many drivers prefer reserving a private spot on Mobypark rather than searching for street availability at the last minute.

What to do if you arrive late or during peak visiting times

If you arrive during paid hours (Mon–Sat 9:00–20:00), street parking may be limited and time-based costs add up quickly. If you can shift your arrival into evenings, nights, or Sundays/public holidays, the free windows can help—but you still need a space to start with.

To keep your plan realistic, check your arrival date and reserve in advance on Mobypark, especially if you expect the visit to be longer than a short stop or you’ll be driving in peak periods.
