Planning a trip to Paris but worried about mobility? Don’t stress! Renting a wheelchair in the city is easier than you might think, and there are plenty of options to suit your needs. In this guide, I’ll show you the best places to rent a wheelchair, how to reserve in advance, and insider tips to make your stay smooth and stress-free—so you can enjoy Paris without limits.

Let's take a look at the different rental options

Pharmacies – Local, Affordable, but not English Friendly

Some pharmacies rent manual wheelchairs usually at a very affordable rate. But this option has a few cons :

  • Not all pharmacies offer this option
  • Most often the staff doesn’t speak English, so booking by phone might be quite complicated if you don’t speak French.
  • You will have to book it in advance as there’s limited availability.
