Absolutely yes, if it wasn’t for the buses we would never go again.
The first time we went, we had a normal push wheel chair. The walk from our hotel to the Louvre was about 25 minutes. But Paris is so damn hilly. I was dieing from pushing my wife around. We would turn a corner to find the path ends with a set of stairs so I groan and we turn around to find another route.
Then we saw a bus turn up, lower itself down to meet the curb and a solo wheel chair user ride on. This changed everything and allowed us to enjoy the rest of the trip without killing me.
