Pompidou Centre Accessibility

  The Pompidou Centre is the top modern art museum in Paris and also perhaps the most accessible Museum in Paris. It has step-free entrance and elevators to get between floors. The halls going through the exhibits are spacious, and the whole museum including the area near the entrance is flat without steps. The best drop-off location is on the south side of the building at the corner of Rue du Renard and Rue St. Merri. That entrance has doors that can be opened by a staff member and level access. Consider combining a visit to the Pompidou Centre with a visit to the Jewish Art and History Museum which is 350 meters away over level ground.
