Finding a parking space near the Centre Pompidou can quickly become a headache. Strict regulations, spaces reserved for special vehicles or residents, it's not easy to find a space in the area. To make sure you don't waste any time, Saemes underground car parks offer you their best advice. By car, motorbike or bicycle, you can park just 5 minutes' walk from the Museum. And for added peace of mind, you can reserve your parking space in advance of your visit!
The Centre Pompidou: a museum and exhibitions
The Centre Pompidou, also known as Beaubourg, was inaugurated in 1977 by President Georges Pompidou, a great lover of modern art. Located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris between Les Halles and Le Marais, and easily recognisable by its architecture of coloured pipes, it welcomes a huge number of visitors every day. Visitors come here for :
- its modern art collections
- its temporary exhibitions
- its library
- its documentation and research centre
- its cinemas
- children's workshops
- shows and concerts
- its restaurant
As well as must-see works such as Marcel Duchamp's urinal fountain, Man Ray's Le Violon d'Ingres, Frida Kahlo's The Frame and Henri Matisse's Romanian Blouse, you can also admire temporary collections dedicated to renowned artists throughout the year.
Our advice? Allow several hours to discover all the collections and masterpieces. And to extend your outing, you can take a stroll in the Halles district or the Marais, just a stone's throw from the museum.

So if you're lucky and find a free space, you'll have to pay :
- 6€ for 1 hour
