You may have already seen them in the metro, small white and green boxes that allow you to deposit or retrieve keys. Since 2022, the RATP has partnered with Monkey Locky, to help you simplify your key exchanges. And even if we're not completely sold on the concept, it's still super convenient, we have to admit.

You have decided to put your small apartment up for rent during the Olympics, in order to make some extra money, but you don't know how to manage your trips with key handovers? Why not use one of the self-service key boxes located in several locations around the city?


Pragmatism at its peak

Let's not kid ourselves, the company Monkey Locky definitely hit the nail on the head by installing key boxes in the Parisian metro stations. It's a high traffic area, so whether you need to pick up or drop off keys, you're almost sure it will come in handy. Especially since they were clever enough to place them before the turnstiles, so no need to pay for your ticket.

Currently, this service is available in 5 stations in the capital. Denfert-Rochereau (at exit 1, on the square), Montparnasse-Bienvenüe (exit 6, rue d'Odessa), Hôtel de Ville (exit 5, in front of the Hôtel de Ville), Etienne Marcel, and Opera (at the main exit, on the square). And other spots should probably arrive, to further strengthen the offer.


Safety first

When it comes to how it works, it's very simple, you just need to go to the Monkey Locky website, subscribe to a membership (1 day, 1 month or 1 year, depending on your needs), and choose your box. You will then receive a code, which will allow you to open and close the small locker. And for added security, you will receive a notification every time the locker is opened!

The company also has many drop boxes in supermarkets in the capital, in order to help as many people as possible. And we still think that with a device like this, Passe-Partout's life would certainly have been easier. simpler rather than lugging around its huge bunches everywhere.
