If you are the holder of a disability card - or a Carte mobilité inclusion (CMI) - you are entitled to several benefits, provided that your card is recognized. European disability cards give you the same privileges as French disability cards: parking, public transport, etc.
Disability cards issued in the European Union (EU) - such as the European Parking Card – are valid in Paris, allowing access to reserved parking spaces and public transport with reduced fares or free travel. For other disability cards issued outside the EU, additional documents may be required: English/French translation, medical certificate, etc.
Only holders of a French, European, Australian, Canadian, Korean, American, Japanese, Mexican or New Zealand disability card can travel free of charge or at a reduced fare on Paris public transport (metros, buses, RERs, trams). They also have access to reserved parking places, with regulations similar to those for French cards.
The national museums and monuments in Paris offerreductions or free admission to people with disabilities, including holders of foreign cards (on presentation of an English/French translation or a medical certificate).
You will find all the conditions for obtaining the disability card (CMI) on the page of the French Ministry for Labour, Health, Solidarity and Families
