After 15 days, items found are sent to the Service des Objets Trouvés de la Préfecture de Police de Paris (Lost Property department of the Paris Police Headquarters). Note that clothing accessories such as belts, hats, scarves, gloves, vests cannot be claimed as they are donated to charities.

Be wary of third-party services that may charge unauthorized fees for lost and found services. Always use the official channels provided by the airport.
