directly to the priority entrances indicated by the designated
symbols. Buttons are located in front of the entrances to open
the automatic swinging doors.
Ticket windows
A ticket window suitable for all visitors is available at the
Avenue du Mahatma Gandhi entrance on the esplanade facing
the Bois de Boulogne.
Access

The Fondation shuttle runs between Place Charles de Gaulle
and the Fondation. The trip is free for disabled persons and the

The shuttle is accessible to mobility-impaired persons thanks to
removable ramps, lifts and extra-wide doors.
Shuttles depart every 15 minutes during the Fondation’s opening hours.

at the Charles de Gaulle-Etoile Metro and RER station. This
station is served by Metro lines 1, 2 and 6, and RER line A.

Louis Vuitton» station in front of the Fondation’s main entrance. Line 244 is wheelchair accessible.

layout of the interior spaces. Staff will be on hand to help you
