Good plans for parking at Bordeaux St Jean station

Between parking in a nearby street, in one of the two parking lots of the station, in a private parking lot and using the Blue Valet valet service, several low cost plans are available to you to park your vehicle at the Bordeaux Saint Jean station. Make your choice according to the duration of the parking, but also to your comfort requirements.

1. In the streets near the station

If you arrive early enough at the Bordeaux Saint Jean train station, outside of the busy hours, you may be lucky enough to find a place for your car in the streets nearby. Please note, however, that in the boulevards of Bordeaux as well as in the center, on-street parking is not free.

The Saint Jean train station is located in the Belcier district, which is classified as a green zone: rates are lower there than in the red sector, i.e. the hypercenter. One hour of parking will cost you €1.80 and you will pay €13.60 for 4 hours, the maximum duration beyond which you will have to pay €30 according to the "forfait post-stationnement" (FPS) principle.

 

2. In the two parking lots of the Bordeaux Saint Jean station

When you have to go away for several days or when you are in a hurry, it is always better to plan your trip well. In particular, by reserving your parking space at the station at the same time as your tickets.

The Bordeaux Saint Jean train station has two parking spaces reserved for both short and long term parking:

➡️ The P2 Saint Jean, which extends over 4 floors and is fully covered

➡️ P3 Belcier, located on rue des Terres de Bordes, a stone's throw from the station.

These two parking lots are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The first one has more than 500 spaces, the second one about a hundred. The rates vary according to the duration and frequency of the parking. For example, it may be worthwhile to take out a yearly subscription at P2 if you are travelling to work by train. As for P3, it offers cheap weekend passes.

 

3. In private parking lots near the Saint Jean train station

If you can't find a parking space in the Saint Jean train station parking lots or if you want to benefit from better offers, you can also turn to a private parking. You just have to connect to a shared parking internet platform to find a place, put at your disposal by a private individual or a company.

If you are looking for a low-cost solution for parking your car in the Belcier district, don't hesitate: you will pay up to half the daily or weekly rate than in a public parking lot or on the street.

On the other hand, you will have to give up the comfort of parking inside the station and then walk the few meters to your departure platform. Depending on the location of the parking lot, you will have to arrive early enough to park and reach the Saint Jean station with your luggage.

 

4. With the Blue Valet system

This is the option that offers the best compromise between your personal comfort, a low cost parking and even... the well-being of your vehicle! Indeed, with Blue Valet, you benefit from the services of a valet who will park your car in a partner parking lot and bring it back to you when you get off the train.

The meeting point for the outward and return journey is at the P3 drop-off point, which gives you direct access to the Belcier hall, inside the station. During your stay, you can even book a maintenance package for your vehicle. The Blue Valet system gives you a win-win situation:

You save a lot of time, both at the time of departure and arrival.

➡️ You can be sure that your car is in good hands.

➡️ You are spared all logistical worries and on top of that, it's not expensive!

Are you the type of person who plans your train trips down to the last detail or shows up at the train station at the last minute hoping to find a free parking space? With Blue Valet, you can do both!

Indeed, you can book your valet until the day before your departure and, once there, you will go from your car to the train in no time!
