MAybe long stay parking at the airport? Just know that parking for long periods of time is expensive

There is no place nearby but you still ought to be able to get a macarron from the authorities possibly with the help of the guy on the lease. Companies can gewt parking palces for emplyees living in France.  it is just a matter of taslking to the macarron people.  tried finding a link for them but couldn't but there number shoudl be on all the macorron stickers on the cars parked outside the flat.  Maria. sorry to blow you out but the  airport is  long way from Plainpalais.  Do you live in Geneva or are you still in Nicosia?.  However t^Marias idea is fundamentally good.  All carparks incuding the one in Plainpalais have long term parking agreements.  More expensive than the macarron but better than parking 5 km away.

The guy said outside the city center. Cannot get any outsider than that and its designed for long term parking. Which is what he needs from what i understood. Dont be nasty

Thank you for the information. I just called the Parking People...I should be able to get a Macaron fairly quickly with the carte de sejour...

Maria there is a difference between nasty and gentle sarcasm - mine was gentle sarcasm and it is true that he did say out of town but the airport is on the other side of twon from Plainpalais and those of us who live on the left bank are frightened of crossing the river.   So I will not apologise as no nastiness was intended but before i make a further comment, are you Greek or Turkish Cypriot? 

Greek of course

So as a bona fide member of the European community (AND an ex colony)  you must be capable of understanding English humour - the only exception to this requirement for members of the EU are the French who deemed to be incapable                   

of understanding the English, English humour, English wine, cheese etc etc

I'm afraid that you cannot apply for a macaron cause you are not leaving officially in Planpalais.

Ask Planpalais authorities first.

Than go to park your car on rue de Laussanne, on the way to Versoix. Just after WTC/ OMC are places available for max 15h, but I always parked there my cars for weeks.

Try "Rue des bossons", "Avenue du bois de la chapelle" and around these two streets in Petit-Lancy...you can find some free car park!

Good luck ;)

There is lots of free parking (white boxes rather than blue) around and beyond Place des Nations. From there it is easy to get a bus back into town.

Try Avenue de la Paix and Avenue de l'Ariana. That's exactly what I did when I first arrived.

Paul,  English wine ? What are you talking about ? Bordeaux sold at Harrod's do not qualify as English wine, as an fyi... As for fermented grape-based liquid substances produced in the south of England, you surely have another word for it, haven't you?

Touché
