Parking charges for some SUVs are set to triple, following a recent landmark vote.
This is the latest move by Socialist Mayor Anne Hidalgo to make the city greener and friendlier to pedestrians and cyclists ahead of the Paris Olympics.
The election had a low turnout - 5.7 percent - but over 54 percent of voters supported the change.
UK correspondent Gavin Grey says these increased fees apply to cars weighing over 1.6 tonnes from outside the city.
