Next week I am travelling from London to SW France by train, and have
about eight hours to spend in Paris before catching an overnight train
from Austerlitz. I shall be travelling with one medium sized suitcase
and a backpack. Does Austerlitz station have suitable left luggage
facilities, and if so will these be open when I need them (between
about 15:00 and 23:00 on Friday 6th July)?

Thanks for any advice

Peter

Here they say that the "consigne" of gare d'Austerlitz, where you find
small, medium and large lockers, is open from 7 AM to 11:30 PM (it
could nevertheless be 11 PM now...) :

Happy to report it was easy to find, and open till 11:30pm. Also,
they had lockers that were amply big enough for all my luggage.
Leaving me free to go and see the Mona Lisa.

Good! I bet it wasn't as much as in the UK. No lockers in train
stations- everything goes through an x-ray, and it costs £6 per _bag_,
going up to £6.50 soon. There's definitely a lot of profits to be made
out of scaring the crap out of people..

Or just pretending.

Is anyone in the UK really scared?

Those without enough sandbags don't look too happy.

You missed scenes on TV of people carting off car loads of free drinking water
handed out by the army. It could be on sale on a beach near you soon.

I precise that according to :
http://www.gares-en-mouvement.com/ac...loge=1&region
3 of the 7 Paris stations have no lockers : gare de l'Est and gare St
Lazare for the moment, probably (at least for the first) because of
the actual works of refurbishment and gare de Bercy. The nearest from
both first stations are in gare du Nord and for the last in gare de
Lyon. The lockers close between 22:45 and 11:30 PM
In case of Vigipirate plan's activation, you can only use the 3 manual
deposits in gare de Lyon, gare Montparnasse and gare du Nord, closing
respectively at 22:45, 23:00 and 22:15 PM.
