How to Get Around in Paris
Subway/Underground
Whilst the subway is excellent and very well connected, for families with prams it may not be easy. The is the same with most subways anywhere. Lists aren’t available in all stations.
Bus
Very well connected and extensive network including reserved seating for strollers. You may download the RATP map to easily find bus stops around the city and their schedule when travelling in Paris with kids.
Cab/Taxi
We heard of https://www.babycabs.fr/ who offer family friendly set up in their taxis
Insider Tips
The Louvre
The Louvre is easily accessed allowing for smooth navigation with stollers/prams.
Baby Carrier
It may be a good idea to pop a baby carrier in your suitcase since some places aren't accessible with a stroller and some streets are busy & narrow.
Shopping Centre Nursery
The Galeries Lafayette have a nursery with changing tables, a sink, microwave and a feeding area.
