I came across quite a neat blog post today, documenting a wheelchair user’s trip to Paris. It makes for some interesting reading! Check out an excerpt below…

But as for the Metro… OK, maybe I was mad even to try it. The looks of the French travellers told me I was – who on earth, they seemed to be saying, would try and take a wheelchair on the Metro? Probably I would have the same experience in London – I haven’t tried that yet. At any rate, I can confirm that it is conceivably possible to use the Metro, even if you are in a wheelchair – but make sure that you go with someone very fit and strong! 

Finally, we emerged onto the sunny streets of Paris, where ancient buildings jostle for position with the modish shops of the city centre. Our first visit was to the Louvre, and though the building itself was closed because it was a Tuesday (other visitors be warned!), the famous glass pyramids and fountains outside were well worth a visit – and easily accessible.
