13 Wheelchair Accessible Travel Tips for Paris
Wheelchair accessible travel to Paris is more challenging than in many other European cities because of the old buildings in the city center and long distances separating many of the tourist attractions. The 13 Paris Accessible Travel Tips below will help you see more of the City of Light with less effort.
1. Choose Eiffel Tower instead of Arc de Triomphe – Visiting the interior of the Arc de Triomphe is only possible via a long tunnel with many steps that running under the Charles de Gaulle Etoile traffic circle (shown in the photo on the right). There is no elevator to reach the tunnel. If you want to get a good aerial view of Paris, the Eiffel Tower is the better choice.
2. Choose a hotel away from the train stations – Like many cities in Europe, the Paris train stations are surrounded by numerous hotels, and the neighborhoods around the train stations leave a little more to be desired. Unless you are on a very low budget, choose a more charming neighborhood in the Left Bank or near the Louvre. Paris has 7 main train stations that serve different parts of France/Europe: Gare du Nord (to London), Gare Montparnasse (to Loire Valley), Gare de Lyon (to the French Riviera), Gare de Bercy (to Italy), Gare de l’Est (to Switzerland), Gare St. Lazare (to Normandy) and Gare d’Austerlitz (to Spain).
