Disabled / Associations

Activity :

Association set up in 1998 by students and researchers with the aim of making independent travel within the city easier for people "on wheels", especially those in wheelchairs. They have already set up on-line maps of Paris, Rambouillet, Maisons-Alfort, Versailles and Courbevoie, and published the guidebook "Paris comme sur des roulettes" (see Guidebooks for disabled people). Mobile en v
ille organises trips around Paris for mixed groups of 15 to 30 people: rollerbladers, wheelchair users, scooters, pushchairs, etc. This is a convivial way to visit the city and a way of bringing together people with disabilities and non-disabled people. In this way, the association makes itself known and increases awareness of problems of accessibility for people with reduced mobility. They also offer sightseeing tours, rallies, treasure hunts, etc.
