Offer adapted to visitors with reduced mobility

No need to book in advance! Just turn up at the ticket office on the day of your visit with your proof of entitlement to free priority access to the monument with your companion.

Admission to the monument is free for disabled persons and their companions, upon presentation of valid proof (valid Mobility and Inclusion card for the French public issued by the CDAPH (or foreign equivalent)).

The mobility and inclusion card (CMI) with "priority" mention only, as well as the parking card, do not give the right to free travel.

Tools for Your Comfort

The monument provides tools to enhance your comfort during your visit:

• A magnifying glass, available at the ticket office
• Noise-cancelling headphones for adults and children, available at the ticket office
• Wheelchairs, available at the monument's access point

These tools are lent in exchange for an ID. Please request them from the staff.

• Guide or assistance dogs allowed
• Toilets accessible to PRM
• A first lift gives access to the museum hall from the forecourt
• A second lift gives access to the panoramic terrace from the museum hall
• The mezzanine hall is not accessible to people with reduced mobility

Drop-off

The monument can only be reached via the Passage du Souvenir, a tunnel at the top of the Avenue des Champs-Elysées and at the top of the Avenue de la Grande-Armée via a staircase. It is not possible to cross the Place Charles de Gaulle on foot.

This passageway is not accessible to people with reduced mobility. A drop-off point (for taxis or private vehicles) is therefore provided on the median opposite the Avenue de la Grande Armée for access to the monument. It is symbolised on the ground by a blue pictogram. Once you have got out of the drop-off vehicle, report to the reception staff on the forecourt. They are located at the security checkpoint and will guide you to the ticket office and then to the entrance to the monument (with priority access).

• 284 steps to reach the terrace.
• Elevators (75 cm wide door for the first one).
