You may not need all the info on the site but the transport agency has a site telling you about Adapted public transport in the Paris region. It could be helpful for you. My first thought was using the "batobus" on the Seine-but to be honest I have used it so rarely I don't really know how easy the access is at the stations:

Look into taking a knee scooter like this one (but there are tons of other models)

There are handicapped people in Paris. I had a broken foot one trip and the walking cast was not bad. I was limited in my walking up hill but didn't let it stop me. Look at walkers that fold easy. Many people fly with them. At least take a walking stick for support. I work with people with mobility issues I love the ones with seats and place to store a few items but a little bulky. I would go into a medical supply place or check a hospice thrift shop for a used one and see which feels best. Good luck. You can sit at a sidewalk cafe and have a glass of wine when you feel tired.

so sorry to hear that! To give advise I think we need a little more info. Can you walk on it?
Are you allowed to put weight on it? Like what jacooper said. Do you have a travel partner to help you?
Me having my leg broken once, I think its the best just to take it very easy and let it heal properly. Maybe you can do a Seine cruise?

Presuming you can bear weight, I'll suggest that you consider using bus transportation. You still get to enjoy the passing scenery, and don't have to contend with stairs and sometimes long passageways to make metro connections. With a pass you can just get off if you see something that strikes your fancy, wander a bit then get on the next bus. For locations not well served by bus, you can always use taxi or uber.

Take lots of buses.Step free entrance, priority seats. You'll find that people will offer you a seat if the bus is full.

I have been in Paris with a cast and crutches. It was challenging, but not impossible. You just have to plan around it. The worst challenge is restrooms in cafés, which are often in the basement, reachable only by a skinny spiral staircase. Are you traveling with a companion? Have him/her scout out restrooms in advance.

The next biggest hurdle was curbs. Not all Paris sidewalks have those smooth declines from the walking level to the street level. I got pretty good at getting from one level to the next going sideways.

The Batobus might be a good idea. There is always a bit of a walk down to the landing, and it's been a long time since I've taken one, but you could use google to map out the access paths.

Taking buses is a good idea.

Bonne chance!

I did (and do) what Nikki does. I joke and say that I've had a broken bone in every country in Europe, but it's not that much of a joke. If you're not alone, you can be pushed in a wheelchair. My best wheelchair experiences were in England. Museums and some tourists sites were often free and there were always wheelchairs. My companion was free too.

I've been to Paris shortly after breaking both feet. The utter truth is that my husband had a harder time than I. He hated using taxis everywhere and let it show. He's matured a bit since them. ;-)
