ARRIVING BY AIR

Before you leave: inform the air carrier of your requirements when you book, or at least 48 hours in advance. You must fill in an INCAD (Incapacitated Passengers Handling Advice) form and have it signed by your doctor, who will decide whether or not they can authorize your journey. For your safety, the airline company can insist that you be accompanied. If you travel with Air France, you can book your ticket and request the assistance you require online. You can also contact Saphir, the free booking assistance service for disabled travellers. → Service Saphir: +33 (0)9 69 36 72 77 (non-surcharged call) or [email protected] from other countries: www.airfrance.frAéroports de Paris ensures that assistance is given to you from your arrival at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports to your means of transport to Paris – as well as getting you seated on your return aircraft.Indicate your arrival, either via the telephone intercoms or at the check-in desks of your airline company.→ Aéroports de Paris: 39 50 (€0.34/min) and +33 (0)1 70 36 39 50 from abroad or www.aeroportsdeparis.frFor travel between the airports and Paris, Air France coach services are available to all travellers, whatever airline company they are travelling with. Vehicles and stops are accessible to people in wheelchairs.→ Air France coaches: +33 (0) 810 812 001 (price of a local call) or www.lescarsairfrance.com

1. ARRIVING IN PARIS

ARRIVING BY TRAIN

The SNCF (French national railway company) makes travel easier for disabled people with its free Accès Plus service. This service at the station accompanying disabled passengers to and from their train must be booked at least 48 hours before departure. Service available in some 360 stations in France.→ Accès Plus: +33 (0) 890 640 650 (€0.12/min), by SMS on +33 (0) 610 640 650 (toll-free number) or [email protected] of facilities in stations is one of the priorities of the SNCF. Access facilities include: lifts; adapted toilet facilities, sound guidance system and podotactile bands and strips; magnetic loops; visible, readable and easily comprehensible signposting.Trains can be boarded by a mobile ramp or a special lift apparatus, according to the distance between the platform and the train. On board, TGV trains have dedicated areas reserved for people in wheelchairs. If you are travelling by Eurostar, arrive 45 minutes before the train departure time and speak to the staff, who will help you to board and alight from the train.

ARRIVING BY CAR

We advise you to use the motorways to get to Paris. The services offered to disabled people by the national road network are not equivalent to the motorway network. If you use the motorway and you are travelling in an adapted (class 2) vehicle (van type), you are entitled to class 1 (saloon type) rate charges at motorway tolls. To benefit from this lower rate, you must use a lane with a member of staff, or use the intercom to call for assistance if the toll booth is an automatic one. Many rest areas are adapted for disabled people: reserved parking places, adapted shops and toilet facilities. At all service stations, you can ask to be served by a petrol pump attendant. In the event of a breakdown or accident, if you are alone and the orange emergency phone is inaccessible, dial 112 (free) on your mobile phone.

2. GETTING AROUND ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Getting around in the capital is simple and quick. The public transport network serving Paris and the Paris region is comprehensive and efficient. It includes an important bus network, several tramway lines and numerous metro lines linked to inter-urban express train (RERs) lines and some Transiliens (SNCF suburban trains)..

GETTING AROUND BY BUS

The 63 lines of the Paris bus network are accessible. All vehicles are equipped with a retractable ramp, and 80% of bus stops are adapted (raised pavement). Since 2010, 100% of bus lines have a sound system that announces the next stops. More than a third of bus lines have a visual announcement system.

GETTING AROUND BY TRAM

The RATP’s 3 Parisian tramway lines were designed from the beginning to be accessible to all types of disability: all carriages have flat floors and are level with the platform, and visual information is also diffused by a sound system (in the planning stage in stations).

GETTING AROUND BY METRO

With its comprehensive network, the metro is the most used form of transport by Parisians and visitors.For safety, the platform edges of metro lines are lined with hazard warning strips, except for lines 1, 13 and 14, which are equipped with platform screen doors for optimal safety for sight-impaired people. Carriages on lines 1, 4 and 14 have a sound system to announce the next station that the metro will stop at. For people with a hearing impairment, the next station is announced visually by a light signal on a map or on screens, on lines 1, 2, 3 and 13 (in progress on line 9). Line 14, the most recent line, is fully accessible to wheelchair users. See pp. 18 and 19 for points of interest on line 14.

GETTING AROUND BY RER AND TRANSILIEN

The RER, which is linked to the metro network in Paris, serves the Paris suburbs and its points of interest (Palace of Versailles, Disneyland® Paris, etc.). Transilien trains complete the transport network in the suburbs.Stations adapted for people in wheelchairs have lifts and wider passageways at ticket validation points. A mobile ramp between the platform and train is put in place by a member of staff (who also alerts your arrival station) to ensure that trains are accessible. → If the station is an RATP one, you can contact a member of staff via the call points and intercoms located on platforms and near to ticket validation points.→ If the station is an SNCF one, you must book the Accès Plus Transilien free service by telephone (+33 (0)9 70 82 41 42, from 7am to 8pm 7/7 (non-surcharged call) or by email ([email protected]) no later than the day before your journey. To provide information on board trains, maps with visual and audio ‘next stop announce-ments’ are routinely installed in new carriages.

GOOD TO KNOW

Developed by the Syndicat des transports d’Île-de-France, Infomobi provides disabled people with useful information for getting around on public transport in Paris and the Paris region. Infomobi enables you to check, for example, the availability of lifts in stations. → On Internet: www.infomobi.com (in French and English).→ By telephone: +33 (0)9 70 81 83 85, from 7am to 10pm, 7/7 except 1 May (non-surcharged call).

RATP FARES POLICY

The RATP has no preferential transport fares for disabled users, except for Parisians, who are holders of the Carte Emeraude, and for Paris region residents, who are holders of the Carte Améthyste.→ Information on RATP preferential fares: www.ratp.fr

4. SLEEPING AND EATING IN ADAPTED PLACES

SLEEPING IN PARIS

Paris has a vast choice of tourist accommodation. Many places are designed for disabled people and have adapted facilities: → Physical disability: access on one level, reception desk with lower level section, spacious toilet facilities with transfer bar, adapted bedrooms with bathroom equipped with floor-level shower, accessible dining room or room service meals. → Visual disability: stairs made safe, obstacles at face-height neutralized, visible and easy-to-read information, etc. → Hearing disability: possibility of booking on website, reception equipped with a magne-tic loop, flashing light linked up with fire alarm sounder, etc. → Mental disability: easy-to-understand signposting with pictograms, supervised entry, attentive staff.To choose your accommodation, we invite you to use the advanced search on PARISINFO.com, rubric ‘Where to stay’. Choose the criteria that interest you: type of accommodation, district, and services (including accessibility by disability).

EATING OUT IN PARIS

Paris, the capital of gastronomy, invites visitors from all over the world to come and enjoy its cuisine. The variety of types of cooking is equalled only by the decoration, and every district is full of great places to eat. Just as for accommodation, to find a restaurant to suit you, we advise you to use the advanced search on PARISINFO.com (rubric ‘Eating out’) and the criteria suggested to make your selection.Our advice: for a typically Parisian atmosphere and experience, eat out at a famous brasserie: brasserie Gallopin, Bouillon Racine, Brasserie Printemps, etc. And if you are in a group, the Restaurants du Monde Carrousel du Louvre offer fast food with world flavours, in a fully-accessible shopping centre, right in the heart of Paris.

Do you know the French ‘Tourisme & Handicap’ label?

Since 2001, the ‘Tourisme & Handicap’ label is a gua-rantee of an accessible building and an efficient and adapted welcome. The list of establishments likely to

have this label is huge: hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, monuments, museums, theme parks, concert halls, etc. As the label is not automatically attributed for all 4 major types of disability together (physical, visual, hearing and mental), we advise you to check the pictogram(s) for which the label has been attributed for each place or facilities.On PARISINFO.com, you can, for example, consult the list of accommodation or res-taurants that have been attributed the label in Paris and the Paris region, by using the advanced search in the rubrics ‘Where to stay’ and ‘Eating out’ and by clicking on ‘Label Tourisme & Handicap’ (according to your type of disability’).

Just as for accommodation, to find a restaurant to suit you, we advise you to use the advanced search on PARISINFO.com (rubric ‘Eating out’) and the criteria suggested to make your selection.Our advice: for a typically Parisian atmosphere and experience, eat out at a famous brasserie: brasserie Gallopin, Bouillon Racine, Brasserie Printemps, etc. And if you are in a group, the Restaurants du Monde Carrousel du Louvre offer fast food with world flavours, in a fully-accessible shopping centre, right in the heart of Paris.

Do you know the French ‘Tourisme & Handicap’ label?

Since 2001, the ‘Tourisme & Handicap’ label is a gua-rantee of an accessible building and an efficient and adapted welcome. The list of establishments likely to

have this label is huge: hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, monuments, museums, theme parks, concert halls, etc. As the label is not automatically attributed for all 4 major types of disability together (physical, visual, hearing and mental), we advise you to check the pictogram(s) for which the label has been attributed for each place or facilities.On PARISINFO.com, you can, for example, consult the list of accommodation or res-taurants that have been attributed the label in Paris and the Paris region, by using the advanced search in the rubrics ‘Where to stay’ and ‘Eating out’ and by clicking on ‘Label Tourisme & Handicap’ (according to your type of disability’).
