Cultural Tip

In France, a “consigne” is often a paid locker service found in train stations (Gare), airports, and some museums. Prices are usually per hour or per day, and you’ll receive a ticket to retrieve your items. The term is more formal than “vestiaire”, which is used for a staffed cloakroom where staff keep your bags for you.
