Time to drop off and pick up locked luggage at Gare du Nord or something faster

Posted by (California) on

Hello fellow travelers,
I want to lock up my luggage for a few hours prior to getting on the Eurostar and I read that they recently renovated the luggage lockers at Gare du Nord. I am wondering if this has decreased the time needed to get bags through security and to pick them up on the back end. I am assuming 30 min to get through security on drop off and 30 min for any queues on pick up. Does this seem accurate? If so, has anyone used a different service near the station for held luggage to save time? I hate to spend an hour doing luggage drop off/pick up.

Thanks!

Where did you get the info that it takes 30 min? It sounds very, very long to me. Haven't ever used the Paris SNCF luggage storage facilities though, only the ones in Strasbourg (in peak season, and it took 5 min).

In any case there is no security check when you go to collect luggage so you can remove that from the equation.

Also, you can check competing luggage storage service in the area on the likes of Bounce, RadicalStorage or NannyBag.
