P2

Week-long Paris trip on the calendar? P2 is the lot.

P2 is the airport’s official long-stay outdoor car park, set up for trips of several days instead of quick drop-offs. It sits roughly a 4-minute walk from terminal A, so you roll your bag straight to check-in without a shuttle. Air Caraïbes lists it as the dedicated long-term option, which matches reviews from travellers who leave cars here for week-long mainland France runs.

The lot is open 24/7, and pricing runs in per-day blocks, not by the hour, which works in your favor once you pass the 24-hour mark. Parclick sells it as “P2 longue durée” with multi-day and week-style packages, a good clue that drive-up rates are structured around stays of several days. If you’re parking for just an afternoon, you’re paying for the wrong product here.

P2 is fully outdoor, so the car sits in Caribbean sun and rain the whole time. Google reviewers mention coming back to very hot interiors after leaving a car “plusieurs jours,” and many call out sunshades as non-negotiable. There’s no covered walkway to terminal A, so in a heavy tropical shower you will get wet walking those 4 minutes.

Signage into the long-stay section can be patchy, especially in the dark or during a downpour. Several French-language reviews tag airport parking as “mal indiqué” and describe overshooting the P2 entrance on the first try. Peak periods like school holidays also push P2 close to full, with people circling for an open bay and very few partly shaded spots left.

Regulars often pre-book P2 through sites like Parclick for week-long trips to Paris, locking in a daily rate and skipping the stress of hunting for space. Locals also lean on drop-offs during busy vacation weeks to avoid capacity crunches altogether. If you’re driving yourself, take five minutes to screenshot the P2 access map and pack a windscreen shade before you leave home.
