Accessible France

We're on our way to France for our summer holidays, which are usual brings the challenge of figuring out which places are accessible and which aren't. I found very little in English, but I have just discovered J'accede which looks to be very useful. Not all of it is translated but the basic access information is (mostly) and the good news is that accessibility French is pretty close to English. First up is Notre Dame d'Amiens, which the site tells me is fully wheelchair accessible. We'll be there on Tuesday (we've a trip through the Channel Tunnel first!).

I'm the mother of a 12 year old not-so-small Scottish boy, a Policy Officer and recently finished a MA in Social Sciences with the Open University.

I live in a small town west of Edinburgh with my son (50% of the time) and my 2 cats.

We've been in Scotland since 2008, having lived in the English Midlands for eight years and, before that, various places in England, Denmark and New Zealand, where I grew up.

I have fibromyalgia and joint hypermobility syndrome. I use a manual wheelchair or, for short distances, one or two crutches.

My major mobility problems are the result of hypermobile joints in my spine, hips and legs. My right hand and wrist are also affected and my right sacro-illiac joint is particularly hypermobile.

I work full time, parent part time and sometimes have a social life. This means I am not always the most reliable blogger ever.
