If I would have to choose accommodation for seniors in Paris, I would pick an apartment.

I have to admit that I would join a hop on-hop off bus tours for seniors in Paris. They always allow people of all ages, from children to over 60 in Paris, to explore the city from a very comfortable position.
I wouldn’t necessarily join a tour that includes a specific itinerary for seniors in Paris. You are just a few years older than the average of tourists that visit Paris!
Just decide what you want to do and be sure that you are in a city where you can get help to go where you want to. There is a solution to every problem. For example, if you have some leg trouble, you can visit Paris step by step, area by area.

Disneyland Paris for Seniors
If your travel won’t be only a Paris for Seniors experience but you are taking kids with you, I suggest taking a look at the Paris with kids section. You will collect a lot of ideas about what to do with them!
Whether you are a Granpa or a grandma on holidays, a babysitter or an adult that wants to have fun, the Disneyland Paris guide allows you to know everything you need to go to Disneyland.
So, why say something specific about Disneyland Paris for seniors? Because people of a certain age don’t feel always the best. If you want to go to Disneyland but you have some kind of disability, you can ask for a Green Card. It is a card that allows you to have advantages proven to your condition.
Also, if you do need a mobility scooter, you can hire once you are in Disneyland!
Disneyland Paris is designed to welcome the whole family. That means that people of every age can go there and feel safe. You can go with the kids without feeling a burden!
