Wheelchair accessibility reality check for Paris Métro and attractions
Métro: Only Line 1, Line 14, and 9 other stations fully accessible (wheelchair symbols on RATP map). Use buses instead — All have ramps and spaces.
Major attractions:
• Louvre: Excellent access via Pyramide entrance from Rue de Rivoli
• Eiffel Tower: Elevators to 2nd floor, 3rd level needs advance booking
• Notre Dame: Ground floor accessible, cobblestones rough around Île de la Cité
Hotels: Book post-1990 buildings near République or Marais — Older Haussmann buildings have narrow elevators, entrance steps. Marais cobblestones around Place des Vosges are challenging.
Download RATP accessibility app for real-time elevator status at Châtelet and Gare du Nord. Paris improving but still behind London overall.
