Pessac, a Gironde commune in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, is a dynamic and student town, bordering Bordeaux and crossed by the ring road. Known for its lively town centre, its university and its commercial zones, it attracts many visitors and workers every day. To make parking easier, the municipality has put in place a varied offer with a modern underground car park, regulated surface zones and blue zones. Yespark takes stock for you.
The town of Pessac has a modern underground car park in the town centre, managed by Metpark, as well as several surface car parks, often free but regulated in blue zone.
Several small surface car parks, free but regulated in blue zone (disc required Monday to Saturday morning), are spread across the town centre:
Good to know: The town centre of Pessac has more than 1,500 parking spaces, paid or free, on the surface or in the underground car park.
Here are our tips for parking smart without breaking the bank in Pessac.
Use the MetPark underground car park for visits of less than 2h
The Town offers your parking in this car park for any duration less than 2h. It's ideal for shopping or administrative procedures in the town centre without spending a cent, with as a bonus a secured and sheltered car park.
For a 2h to 4h30 visit, compare the options
Beyond 2h at MetPark, count £4.50 (day), then £0.50 every 15 min up to 4h30 (£8). On the surface, after the first free hour, 2h costs £3. It's up to you depending on your real need.
For a long duration (more than 4h30), the underground car park is more profitable
Need to leave your vehicle for a whole day? At MetPark, the package from 4h30 to 24h is at £8. It's unbeatable compared to surface parking where the hourly rate accumulates.
If you park regularly, think about MetPark subscriptions
Many subscriptions adapt to your situation: individuals, shopkeepers, weekend or evening parking only, ecological vehicles, two-wheelers... Find out on the Metpark website to find the most economical formula for your needs.
For a very quick errand, favour the surface and the 1st free hour
On the surface, the first hour is free (with ticket at the pay station). If you are sure not to exceed 60 minutes, it's the simplest solution.
Several arrangements allow you to park free of charge in Pessac.
The 30 free minutes on the surface
On the surface, it's better: it's the entire first hour that is free! (you must take a ticket at the pay station)
The first 2 free hours at the MetPark car park

Blue zones
In all blue zones (surface car parks listed above), parking is free but limited to 2h maximum, with the obligation to display a visible parking disc. The regulation applies from Monday to Saturday morning.
Free hours on the surface
Surface parking is free:
Monday morning
Saturday afternoon
Sundays and public holidays
From 14 July to 31 August (the entire summer period)
The minute stops
"Minute-stop" spaces (limited to 20 min) are available near shops and services.
The town centre configuration and student influx create variable pressure depending on the sectors.
Around place de la Liberté-Samuel Paty and the shopping streets, demand is very high, especially on Saturday morning. The MetPark underground car park is then the best solution to avoid driving around.
Small parking spaces in blue zone (La Poste, Sardine, etc.) are highly coveted by shopkeepers and inhabitants. Their limited capacity (often less than 20 spaces) makes them quickly saturated.
At the start of term and during the academic year, the area around the university (outside the town centre) sees high demand. The residential streets near the faculties are often very full during the day.
On market days, attendance is at its peak. Surface spaces are taken by storm, and the MetPark car park is very busy.
Given the demand, especially near the town centre and the university campus, finding a monthly space can be a challenge. Yespark makes life easier by connecting you directly to the private car parks available in Pessac and its surroundings.
Whether you are looking for a solution near place de la Liberté, your place of study or in a residential neighbourhood, Yespark allows you to access private car parks with no commitment.
Registration is quick and with no commitment: in just a few minutes, your space is waiting for you. You also benefit from many advantages:
