Answer 1

The following links point to maps which show wheelchair accessibility of metro and RER stations.

metro and bus map:

Note that metro line 14 is a new line which is 100% wheelchair friendly.

RER map:

Rueil Malmaison is in square F5. On this map you can see that the station is an orange dot wich means you just have to ask the staff for assistance when boarding the train. Otherwise, green dotted stations are 100% accessible without any help.

In addition, there is a phone number for assisting disabled travellers: 0810 64 64 64 (price of a local call) (probably in French only).

Answer 2

yes, i live about 2 minutes away in a town called Nanterre, what do you need to know?

If you are thinking of using the metro it's possible with a wheelchair as they usually have wheelchair access but you would be much better off hiring a car as it isnt a very wheelchair friendly.

rueil is about 20 mins by RER ( this is the train network which works along side the Metro) to Paris.

Anything else i can help you with e-mail me. I know this area very well. My address is on my profile.
