If you want to a leisurely stroll, you can walk along the Quai d'Orsay, then the Quai Branly and reach the Eiffel Tower with about five extra minutes of walking.
Eiffel Tower access for the mobility-impaired
To facilitate access for the mobility-impaired, the Eiffel Tower has reserved access to the pillars that spares visitors steps and turnstiles.
Only the very top of the Eiffel Tower is inaccessible to people with reduced mobility for safety reasons (especially in the event of an emergency evacuation).
It is, however, possible to reach the first and second levels via the elevator, which is roomy enough to accommodate wheelchairs.
Walks around the monument
If time allows, meander through the Trocadéro gardens, from which you can admire the Warsaw Fountain and views of the Eiffel Tower.
You can also wander through the paths of the Champs de Mars gardens – a great spot because it affords the best views of the Eiffel Tower.
On a rainy day, opt for destinations like the Maison de la Culture du Japon on the Quai Branly or the Quai Branly Museum.
