Maybe not a 'concierge' question, never the less, it's pressing.
When a traveler, assuming a train traveler, has more than 10 hours of time to spend in Paris (so chosen) before resuming a trip, where in the City of Light, can such bulky valises such as a couple of suitcases be deposited until desired departure. My arrival will be at Gare du Nord, early in the Morning, and departure will be same day early Evening from Gare Montparnasse. Thank you for your help.

Last time I looked into the matter all the consignement places at the train stations were closed due to security, but that was a few years ago and matters may have eased a bit.

True, VivreManger...

Unfortunately, due to the "vigipirate" restrictions by the French police, most luggage lockers have been closed in the Paris train stations and airports.

Any hotel you have a reservation with during a stopover would happily take care of storing your luggage, and from time to time even we store luggage for former or future clients, or even friends and family thereof...
