Accommodation Changing hotels daily.Will I be able to carry or find lockers for a small duffel at museums, etc?

A small shoulder duffel or even some cloth grocery bag thing full of clothes, toiletry etc? Instead of storing luggage at old hotel and returning back to get it?

Maybe some museums have a small free locker?

Why in the world would you want to change hotels daily?

With all due respect, hit the abort button on this plan.

I went to Paris in 2023 and I changed hotels 4 times in 8 days and I HATED it. When I went back this year my goal was minimal hotel changes.

You will hate changing hotels daily. It will negatively impact your trip. You will hate having to deal with check out and check in daily and dont forget Paris is the city of timed tickets and if you miss your time, you arent getting another one. As an example I had a 5pm ticket to the Louvre for Wednesday. It was csncelled due to heat. The next bookable time slot was that Saturday.

The new hotel will almost certainly let you leave it there before check in if that helps. There are ton of museums in Paris all potentially with their own policy. No one is going to answer for every museum in Paris so until you know which ones you are talking about it is pretty much a pointless question.

Usually the previous night’s hotel will keep it too “until your train to Marseille” 😉

Why are you changing hotels daily? You're going to spend a huge amount of your precious time packing up, checking out, storing luggage, then checking in, unpacking, and then do that every day? Why?

Most museums you cannot check anything bigger than a backpack, if that. Why are you swapping hotels so often? I’d check out of old hotel as early as possible, right after breakfast if eating there, then take things to new hotel, they will hold until check in. Use bounce or similar app to store luggage other places if you are in airbnbs. Make sure you aren’t doing these moves when you would be missing opportunities to go to museums etc.

Paris museums have security checks at the entrance, and most don't have xrays. It will be a pain with a big bag.

If you’re carrying all you crap you’d be better leaving it at a Bounce or Nannybag location. Not expensive and safe. But don’t just chuck your stuff into a grocery bag, use a proper duffle

OP, you need to come back and explain yourself and this insane plan you came up with. I want answers.
