Grenoble wheelchair accessibility guide

The local network is M (the TAG brand was retired in 2025; lines and stops are unchanged). M states that 100 percent of trams and Chrono, Proximo and Flexo buses are wheelchair-accessible, with reserved spaces near the rear low-floor doors of every tram. Tram lines A, B, C, D and E and the Chrono and Proximo bus lines all use low-floor rolling stock with level boarding at the platform.

For door-to-door rides M runs Flexo+ PMR, a paratransit service for people who cannot use the standard tram and bus. A companion of a CMI holder pays a dedicated companion fare. Booking and current rules are on the M réso accessibility page. On-street parking is free at any meter when you display a European parking card (CES) or a French CMI marked Stationnement (CMI-S).

Five named attractions in this guide cover the iconic cable car, two flagship museums in the historic centre, the contemporary art centre, and the archaeological museum in the medieval crypt of Saint-Laurent. All five are reachable on the M tram or bus from Grenoble city centre.

Téléphérique de la Bastille: the bubble cable car to the Bastille fort. Plein tarif is 9,80 € round-trip; the reduced rate for disabled visitors is 5,10 € and the companion pays the same.

Musée de Grenoble: the city's main fine-arts museum on place Lavalette. Permanent collections are free for everyone; the disabled visitor and one companion are free for temporary exhibitions too. Tram B and D both stop at Notre Dame Musée.

Musée Dauphinois: regional history in a 17th-century convent on the Bastille hillside. Free for everyone. A lift is available with a staff escort and some spaces are not wheelchair-accessible.

Magasin CNAC: contemporary art in a former industrial hall on Esplanade Andry-Farcy. Free for disability-card holders and their companions; tram A stops at Berriat Magasin.

Musée archéologique Saint-Laurent: a medieval crypt and church on place Saint-Laurent. Free for everyone, partially accessible to wheelchair users via a dedicated entrance.

Three of the city's five flagship museums (Dauphinois, Saint-Laurent and the Magasin) are free or reduced for disabled visitors and a companion; the Musée de Grenoble is free on its permanent collection and free for the disabled visitor and one companion on temporary shows. The Bastille cable car runs a reduced fare with the companion at the same rate. See the full table with prices, companion policy and the documents to bring on the Grenoble disability discounts page.

Grenoble's flat city centre between the Isère and the Drac is the easiest base because it is within walking or short tram distance of every attraction in this guide. Booking direct is the best way to confirm the practical detail your accommodation needs: step-free entrance, a wheel-in shower (the most common gap in older buildings), and lift access if you are not on the ground floor.
