Returning a rental car in Paris

Posted by (Michigan) on

For my trip in 2011 I will have a 2+ week car rental. I will be returning it in Paris and then staying on the Ile Saint Louis. I am trying to figure out the best location to return the car to.

Here is a map showing the possible drop off locations. I am trying to decide between ORLY airport or venturing into the city.

The 14ème arrondissment is closer to my rental but I am not sure if the location will present driving problems. I have driven in Ireland and cities like Chicago with no problems.

Thanks in advance.

Blvd Jourdan is going to be easy to hit from the Peripherique. It's a divided steet, so no problem making the turn to where you have the pin (those are your pins, not mine).

Bear in mind that you're going to be turning into another divided street that switches to one way if you don't hook back onto Jourdan going the other way. (This from looking at the map, I ain't got every street in town in the back of my head.)

Porte d'Orleans metro station is an easy one to navigate with stuff and is just down the road. The good part is that it drops you at Cite with no changes and all you have to do is walk behind the cathedral to the bridge to Ile St Louis.

You're nuts if you go to Orly. This one's simple.

Port de St Cloud is a driving mess on that circle and you'll never find the other one by Felix Faure.

OK, thanks for the advice. The dropoff in the 14th does look like my best option with the convenient metro stops.
