An accessible RER trip from Nation to La Défense is possible only when the stations and equipment on your exact route are working for your needs. RATP says much of RER A and RER B is wheelchair-accessible, but accessibility still varies by station. Check the official accessibility information immediately before travel.

Check the whole journey, not one station

  • Confirm your starting station access.
  • Confirm the destination station access.
  • Check whether lifts are currently available.
  • Look at the platform-to-train boarding arrangement.
  • Keep an alternative bus, tram or accessible station in mind.

Why live checking matters

A station that is normally accessible can become difficult if a lift is out of service. Construction and temporary platform changes can also affect the route.

Give yourself extra time

For Nation to La Défense, do not plan a tight connection immediately after the RER. A little extra time makes it easier to change route if an access point is unavailable.
