Overview
- The municipal government cut the maximum on‑street 'zone rouge' fee from €35 to €17, which took effect on 1 September.
- Residential parking permits were reduced by half under the new administration, a change the mayor says will return about €2 million to residents.
- The €17 cap applies only to on‑street stays of three hours or more and leaves shorter hourly rates unchanged at €3.50 for one hour and €8 for two hours.
- Reporters found some pay stations still showing the old €35 rate during the rollout and the city attributed the problem to a lag in updating its parking IT systems.
- Motorists, shopkeepers and artisans called the cut a first step but said it misses short visits and margins, with many asking for a lower hourly scale or a dedicated professional tariff and the city indicating it may study further measures.
