HOW TO GET TO JEU DE PAUME ?

Jeu de Paume is located in the Tuileries Gardens. These can be entered via the main entrance on Place de la Concorde, and from there a ramp leads to the Terrasse du Jeu de Paume and the entrance to the building (see map below).

It can also be reached by car, across the Pont de Fer bridge, on the Seine side, towards the Louvre (see map below).

It is important to signal vehicular arrival at least 48 hours in advance by sending an email to accueil@jeudepaume.org specifying the licence plate number, the type of vehicle and the name of the driver. The Tuileries are very flexible where limited-mobility users are concerned, and it is often possible to notify them at the last minute.

Parking places for disabled visitors are located close to the Jeu de Paume, on the Rue de Rivoli side. For information regarding access by public transport, check this website: https://www.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/le-reseau/transports-faciles-d-acces
