Transports accessibles a Paris

Guides pratiques pour se deplacer a Paris en fauteuil roulant, avec une aide a la mobilite ou d'autres besoins d'accessibilite. Transferts aeroport, transports en commun, taxis et location de scooters.

## Getting Around Paris Paris has a mix of accessible and inaccessible transportation. The bus and tram networks are fully accessible, and accessible taxis are available with advance booking. The metro, however, remains one of the least accessible subway systems in Europe. Most stations have stairs only, with no elevators or ramps. This section covers every transportation option available to travelers with mobility, vision, or hearing disabilities. Each guide includes booking details, costs, and honest assessments of what works and what does not.

Key Takeaway

If you use a wheelchair or have difficulty with stairs, plan your routes around buses, trams, and taxis. The metro is not a reliable option for most wheelchair users. Line 14 is the only fully accessible metro line.
