Paris is one of the world’s favourite destinations for tourists.
As I mentioned in Wheelchair Accessible Places to Visit in Paris, it’s on my bucket list.
As you probably know, you can get to Paris by bus, flight, or train from London.
Flying used to be the quickest way to get to Paris. But, considering the accessibility hassles at airports, travelling by train is a sensible alternative.
And, on the whole, the reports I’ve seen of people travelling by Eurostar in a wheelchair all seem positive.
Also, many of you have reported that travel by train is more comfortable because you can stay in your wheelchair.
So, in this post, I want to take a closer look at the accessibility of London to Paris trains.
But, before we do that, let’s take a quick look at why Paris is so popular.
Why is Paris a Popular Destination for People with Access Needs?
Over the years, Paris has become one of the most popular travel destinations among disabled bloggers.
Here are two reasons that Paris is so popular:
#1 – Famous Landmarks
The world’s best-known landmarks are in Paris, including Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Arc De Triomphe.
You can read the first-hand experience of visiting some of these landmarks in Wheelchair Accessible Paris.
#2 – The Food Scene
It would be impossible to visit Paris and not sample the food.
Paris is a food mecca; from intimate cafes to world-renowned restaurants, Paris has them in abundance.
According to the luxury magazine Forbes, here are the Top 20 Restaurants in Paris
And Vogue recommends these iconic cafes in Paris.
I cannot review access in these eateries, so if you plan on visiting, do your homework before you go.
