Luggage storage Palace of Versailles

Luggage rules and lockers at Versailles

Visitors to the Palace of Versailles often arrive by train with more than they can carry through the palace itself.

The estate does have lockers after entrances A and B, but they're sized for small items and close well before evening. Anything larger than 55x35x20 cm won't get past the security checks, so sorting out a bigger bag beforehand matters. With timed entry slots and a full day recommended on the estate, arriving without a plan for larger luggage can eat into the visit itself. Though there is no clear-bag rule, every bag, including handbags, is still subject to systematic security control. The nearest station to the palace entrance is Versailles Château-Rive Gauche, about a 5- to 10-minute walk away. The RER C line runs directly from central Paris to Versailles Château-Rive Gauche station. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations near the Palace of Versailles.

Leaving your bags: lockers and planning

Secure lockers for small personal items and prohibited objects sit just after entrances A and B, though anything stored there must be collected before 4:45 p.m. in low season or 5:45 p.m. in high season. Those hours matter because the palace runs from 9:00 am to 6:30 pm in high season and 5:30 pm in low season, Tuesday to Sunday, and anyone arriving with a bag that won't fit the 55x35x20 cm limit will need a plan that doesn't rely on staying past locker closing time. Versailles Rive Droite station, served by SNCF trains from Paris Saint-Lazare, is a 17- to 20-minute walk from the Palace of Versailles. Every visitor, including those with free admission, must book a timed entry slot online, and security includes detection porticos and searches at the control points — allow for a full day on the estate rather than a rushed two-hour visit. The palace closes on Mondays, 1 January, 1 May and 25 December, so check the date before you set off with bags in tow.
