Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival day: private pickup from CDG or ORY, comfortable drive into central Paris with a short accessible stop at the Eiffel Tower and a relaxed nearby lunch.
Meet your driver in the Arrivals hall (CDG or ORY)
Driver will monitor your flight and meet you in the arrivals hall holding an iPad with your name. 60 minutes free waiting time is included. If you pass through passport control and baggage reclaim, follow the Arrival signs to the public arrivals hall — your driver will be waiting there.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring your booking confirmation on your phone — the driver will show their iPad with your name to avoid confusion.
- If you require wheelchair assistance at the airport, inform the airline in advance and tell us at booking so the driver can meet you at the most accessible exit.
- Keep a small bottle of hand sanitiser handy after baggage reclaim; benches and seating areas are available in the arrivals halls if you need to sit while the driver locates you.
Private transfer to central Paris (approx. 45 minutes)
Private, air-conditioned vehicle with English-speaking driver. Bottled water and onboard Wi‑Fi provided. Travel time typically ~45 minutes from CDG to central Paris; Orly pickups are typically ~35–40 minutes depending on traffic. Driver will help with luggage at pickup and at drop-off.
Tips from local experts:
- Tell the driver if you prefer a slower, quieter route; they can avoid heavy tunnels or use the boulevard ring with more comfortable visibility.
- If you have mobility aids (folding walker, rollator), the driver will load/unload them — please mention at booking so the vehicle is prepared.
- Expect heavier traffic during weekday morning (07:30–09:30) and evening (17:00–19:30); the driver will monitor live traffic and adjust the route for the smoothest journey.
Drop-off & gentle orientation at the Eiffel Tower (5 Avenue Anatole France)
Driver will drop you close to the Eiffel Tower (5 Avenue Anatole France). Enjoy a short, flat stroll or sit on benches at Parc du Champ de Mars for a first Paris photo and light orientation. This drop-off point is chosen for minimal stairs and good seating options nearby.
Tips from local experts:
- The area near the Champ de Mars is mostly level with wide sidewalks — ideal for walking aids and wheelchairs; avoid the immediate steps leading up to the base unless you prefer them.
- Public toilets with accessible stalls are located nearby at the southeast side of the Champ de Mars (check signage) — plan a short stop if needed.
- If you'd like a photo with fewer people, walk a short distance along the southeast side of the park where benches and wide lawns give a clear view of the tower without the busiest crowds.
Relaxed accessible lunch near the Seine — Le Bistro Parisien
A calm, riverside bistro with accessible entry and level seating. A short walk from the Champ de Mars; perfect for a first light meal in Paris. Staff are used to accommodating mobility needs and can provide a table with easy access.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a table by the entrance or on the ground-level terrace for step-free access and extra space for mobility aids.
- Ask for a printed menu with larger text if you prefer; the staff are accustomed to accommodating seniors and can pace the service.
- Consider ordering classic, mild dishes (quiche, fish, or roasted chicken) if you prefer gentle flavours after travel; mention any dietary restrictions when the driver drops you off so they can notify the restaurant.
