Least steps or ramp down to Seine?

On my next visit to Paris, I will have my mother along who has some mobility issues. She can walk but avoids using stairs as much as possible.

Which accesses to the river have the least steps? Or a ramp? We want to use the batobus a time or two and enjoy the views from the river.

At http://www.batobus.com/, they briefly describe the entrance to each stop. All say escalier/stairway, except at the Jardin des Plantes, which also has a ramp, and at the Musee d'Orsay, which says passarelle/footbridge.

Thanks, Laura. Looks like we have 3 choices to avoid stairs.

Hi, geg903

It's not just the stairs down to the Seine. The paths along the Seine are not always smoothly paved. Some are uneven with cobblestones. Don't know if that is going to be an issue with your mother.
