Hello, I will be traveling to Paris along with my two friends who are residents of Belgium. We will just be staying there for one day and then plan to visit their hometown Brussels. During our one-day tour around Paris, we would like to have the opportunity to leave our luggage at nearest as possible to the Gare du Nord where we will eventually have to come back and catch the train.

Hello, Gare du Nord is an international train station that can offer safe locker facilities that will help you unburden yourselves from luggage while you take a tour around the city. It would be highly advisable not to let anyone help you with your luggage when you are placing it inside the locker. This is because nowadays criminality rate in Paris has risen strongly and it is possible that someone could try to rob you off in front of your eyes. This happened to a friend of mine who was outsmarted by a thief. The man pretended to be nice and offered to help my friend with the heavy luggage when she was trying to put it inside the locker. The man had switched the keys giving her the wrong one. When she left he came back, opened the locker and stole what was inside. This is why you should take precaution when leaving your things.
