Deemed as the city of romance, Paris is known for its artistic allure, iconic landmarks, and world-renown cuisine. Bringing people from all around the world to observe its captivating ambiance, it is a must-visit destination! There are numerous wheelchair accessible hotels in Paris right in the heart of downtown and in close proximity to many of the must-see attractions. But, what about Paris as a whole?

Is Paris Wheelchair Accessible?

In short, yes! Paris is relatively flat making it a wonderful city for wheelchair users to explore. Portions of the city may have uneven pavement making it a little more difficult, but on the whole, Paris is accessible and doable to navigate in a wheelchair.

What About the Sites and Attractions?

Many of the sites and attractions accessible as well. The Louvre, for example, is committed to providing assistance for those who are disabled and provide accessible facilities throughout the museum. Although most of the attractions in the museum can be seen without going up steps, there are several elevators and lifts available if needed. Skip the line and book a private guided tour where you can experience the best The Louvre has to offer.

The Eiffel Tower is accessible for wheelchair users up to a certain point. There is a lift that can be taken to the 1st and 2nd floors but not to the highest level (for evacuation safety reasons). The staff does a good job accommodating everyone and you will find accessible facilities on both of the floors, including bathrooms, buffets, and shops.

Make sure to do your research and plan ahead to determine which attractions and activities you want to visit, most of which should have accessibility information available.
