In this video Im showing you my full journey from London to Paris using the Eurostar as a wheelchair user. I was blown away by the services. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. And made everything easy for us. All our special assistance was booked a few months in advance. And one thing I will say is special assistance took a long time to show up at the first point of contact at both ends. However once we were though they were very efficient.
This video is not sponsored by Eurostar, and Eurostar did not ask me to film. All wheelchair using passengers are put in Premier coaches, where you are served food, and this is at no extra cost to you. We did not pay extra for this service.

Hello gem and daisy you both looked like you all had a good time i have followed you for years and in heart of hearts with your grit and determination you
gem you have helped me so much
Ah thank you for sharing. That means a lot
The EU is so much better to the wheelchairers than much of the USA. Daisy is growing so fast, you will miss her when she gets married.
Ahhh db is my world. 🌎
TAKING THE EUROSTAR FROM LONDON TO PARIS TO WATCH THE PARALYMPICS NICE 👍👍👍🚄🚄🚄
Thank you for such an awesome video. I am a wheelchair user myself and would be going to Paris with my 11 year daughter this December. Your videos are so insightful and informative. I would also be taking the Eurostar to London as well very excited for that too.
Great video Gem. That ramp onto the Eurostar was great, shame all trains don't have those. Plenty of space inside too which is refreshing. Looks like a really fun trip and I'll definitely look into the Eurostar.
Best experience ever as a chair user!❤
That omeo's looks amazing, looks expensive too😁
🤭🤭
This is so cool to see. I’ll be taking that trip in July. Hope Paris isn’t too hot for me.
Obviously, it’s hard to pick holes in such a fabulous trip, but a couple of things did stick out. Firstly, when you went to the table tennis, the disabled seats with the lowest of any of the spectators, meaning your view was poor. This happens time and time again at sporting events and really should be addressed. Secondly, the Access on the train, and particularly ongoing to use the toilet, required some tight turns. So many years are used a scooter for travelling because I’m tetraplegic and didn’t have a suitable powered wheelchair. This is similar to having your Batec, but of course without the ability to detach. I suspect this train would’ve been very difficult for me. Now I finally have a proper power chair, I would manage much better.
I made crepes Suzette for my OT when I was in the Spinal Unit in Glasgow 20 years ago. When I was back in last year, she was still there and remembered my crêpes.!
The train we were on out bound is one of the older trains which I think they are fasing out. In bound we were on one of the newer trains, where the toilet was absolutely massive, and much easier to get to. :)
Super reportage, très complet :)
Merci ☺️
i love active hands, i have so much amazing products from them
Ahhh thats so good. I have some kitchen gadgets too. My favourite is the nimble thimble
Fantastic thank you, I would love to try an omeo but I am scared I will love it and I know I cannot afford one as I am self funding
Looked up the Eurostar route, just so I had some idea of how far it is, and it says it's 215 miles (346 km). Just wanted to mention it in case anyone was wondering.
Thanks so much. Thats interesting to know
Wonderful video 😊
Ahh thank you
💜💜💜💜
Gem! Alcohol while you still have to drive? (Your batic) 😂
Hehehe. I don’t drink. 🤍
This looks great - but seventeen grand is a tad out of my budget!
They are on the pricy side. But in the uk they are available on access to work. 🙏🏼
🙂
Hey Gem loved the video, I was meant to go to the Paralympics but unfortunately I had a health issue so couldn't go, but my mum sister we to the Olympics and got me a Paralympics mascot to clip to my wheelchair bag.
Ahhh sorry you didn’t make it. I was on a quest to find a Paralympics pin, to put on the back of my chair, which I finally found ☺️
@@Wheelsnoheels thats great yeah I love my thing for my bag I have had so many comment on it and thats cool as I then get to chat to other people.
What a great trip! How long did it take to find a cafe in Paris that was accessible? So many curbs to the cafes.
Good question.....The photographer we were with was a local. He took us to a cafe round the corner like 100m. BUT it had steps to get in and toilet downstairs. So we sat out side, as went to the toilet at the Eiffel Tower.
🙂👍👍
i want an Omeo so bad but its so expensive, especially being on benefits, and I don't have the space for a second powerchair and I cant give up my chair with the lifting and reclining seat
There are definatly pros and cons to all.
Thank you for sharing :) What citytrip would you all recommend as an ambulatory wheelchair user? I'm from Belgium.
Thats a good question, Im hoping over the years I'll be able to answer that as I tick places off. Im not too sure, but ive heard that Barcelona is really good.
Table tennis 🏓, is that what we in the States call ping pong?
Oooo I’m not sure, could be. 🤔
Pretty sure, but there might be nuanced differences.
Absolutely yes.
Here in Australia, it's routinely called by either of those names.
@@t4N9410oR thanks
at 18:24 how did that guy in the manual chair not get his castors stuck I'm the cobbles? were the cobbles flat and close together? the cobbles in my city are horrific for manual chairs as they are the same distance apart as a castor
Ugh thats frustrating. That guy was ian, hes pretty hardcore in his chair and pushed for miles. I think he did back wheel balance where the cobbles were difficult.
Gem those Omeos look great but how much do they cost? I’m still in my rigid wheelchair which is great but unfortunately in the future I can see my needs changing 👨🏻🦽😀
They are around £18,000 I think.....I know they are available on access to work.
