Parking at the Relais Plein Air

In order to address the growing congestion of our parking area and to support the social mission of Relais Plein Air, a smart pricing system has been implemented.


This management aims to guarantee free spaces for Relais Plein Air customers and other authorized customers while encouraging, when possible, active transportation, public transportation and carpooling — actions that are beneficial for the environment, health and
community.

We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
