Travelling through France must be a nightmare for many disabled travellers as the laws regarding public places still do not cater towards those who have special needs, you will find this particularly in places like hotels. Many of the older establishments have several flights of stairs and no lift at all, we have experienced this with just a baby in a pram so I’d hate to think what a wheelchair bound traveller would go through.
When we moved here we decided to cater as well as we could to those with a disability and designed a couple of rooms on the ground level that could be used specificall by those with a mobility problem; we even went as far as placing shower chairs in the bathrooms so that the simple act of having a wash could be done with ease. Our attention to these details has mean’t that a certain number of guests have been able to enjoy their stay in relative comfort. This makes a huge difference to the lives of many people who otherwise would find getting around on holiday more trouble than it needs to be.

How was your Easter then? sorry if I come across a bit negative but out of the two main Christian festivals a year, Easter and Christmas, Easter has got to be the one which has become the most overly commercialised. The chocolate eggs hit the shelves almost before the end of January whilst we are still paying off the bills from Xmas and if it wasn’t for the shops full of chocolate eggs I wonder if people would bother with it at all!
We have had our place on the market for a while now and are keeping our fingers crossed that this year is the year that see’s us upping sticks and leaving for newer pastures. We’ve been painting and plastering in readiness for the next wave of sightseers to arrive; well, that’s what many of us vendeurs call those folk who really are not looking to buy your place exactly because ‘they are just looking around at the moment’. Time wasters…
And what people had to say…
