Getting around Paris: A wheelchair user's trip to the Olympics.
Reading
Ndieme Lame, a wheelchair user, volunteers at the Paris Olympics. She is amazed by how easy it is to travel around the city using public transport.
Lame uses a system to book help at train stations. However, many underground stations are still difficult to access in a wheelchair.
Lame worries that the help she receives now might not be available after the Paralympics. She took journalists on her journey to show them how she travels.
While most buses and trams are now accessible, the Metro system remains a challenge. Many stations are old and do not have elevators or ramps.
Paris has worked to improve accessibility since winning the bid for the Games. They hope to show their progress, but also recognize there is still work to be done.
