Free parking for motorbikes in Paris

Question

I was wondering if motorbike parking is free in Paris as it happens to be in, for example, Madrid.

I also read about parking on the pavement on this page:

"Parking of two-wheeled vehicles on the pavement is tolerated, as long as you are not blocking the way for pedestrians."

Though they recommend not to do it, I don't know how old that information is.

EDIT:

In case you want to park on the street, can motorbikes park on the bays supposed to be for cars? or shall I look for an specific motorbike spot?

FYI: This question is related to parking, which is synonym of the automobiles — VMAtm, Commented Feb 24, 2012 at 11:01
Oh, great, thanks. I was wondering why I couldn't retag it properly. (I wonder why I cant add parking as a tag) — rlab, Commented Feb 24, 2012 at 11:14

On this website, you can find a car park for your motorcycle, and take a free reservation, but the parking isn't free:

You can also take a look to this french webpage translated with Google:
The parking of bikes in Paris and its region

This is the official weppage about parking policy in Paris:
What are the objectives of the parking policy?

Thanks for your answer. But I'm more interested in street parking as I'm planning to visit many places in the same day. Also as I don't mind to pay the parking for few hours.. in the website you sent I can only see prices for days/weeks

Hi Pascal, Thanks for you edited answer.. the first link "Parking in the city" is very similar to the one in my question. But your last link clarify a little bit more about the parking on the pavement and how it is completely forbidden in pavements of the Champs Elysees +1 for that.

Great, so in short I must park in a motorbike bay, or take the risk to park in a very wide pavement without disturbing anyone.. :)
