What I Offer

Accessible France is more than a travel consultancy. It is a bridge from longing to arrival, from fear to familiarity, from the imagined to the lived. As a full-time power wheelchair user with complex disabilities and a neurodivergent child, I have spent years learning how to navigate the often-unseen terrain of accessible travel -- not just ramps and elevators, but sensory thresholds, bureaucratic hurdles, and cultural nuance. 

With Accessible France, I offer what I once searched for: bespoke, honest, multilingual, historically informed, culturally sensitive travel services designed for those of us whose needs are rarely met by guidebooks or glossy brochures.

My offerings are shaped by real-world experience, academic rigor, and deep love for France in all its complexity — its history, its transit systems, its language, its beautiful contradictions.

Bespoke Accessible Itinerary Planning

Every trip with Accessible France begins with a conversation, not a checklist. I work closely with individuals, couples, and families to design deeply personalized itineraries that honor your pace, passions, and physical or sensory boundaries.

Through interviews, emails, phone calls, texts, or a combination that works best for you, we’ll explore your:

• Mobility needs (i.e. power wheelchair access, proximity to elevators/lifts, fatigue accommodation).
  

• Sensory and cognitive profiles (i.e. autism-friendly environments, neurodivergent pacing, maps and audio guides).
  

• Medical considerations (i.e. dysautonomia, allergy management, toilet access, cooling/rest stops, nearby hospitals, transport options).
  

• Interests and travel dreams, from art history to amusement parks, gastronomy to gardens, palaces to sport.
  

From there, I craft a thoughtful, realistic plan tailored to your specific circumstances, whether that means identifying the most reliably accessible cafés near the Luxembourg Gardens, choosing the best time and method from Paris to Burgundy with your needs, or mapping out quiet places to decompress between exhibits at the Louvre on a busy July day. I handle the logistics so you can focus on the wonder of France.

Consulting & One-on-One Support

Not ready for a full itinerary? I offer à la carte consulting services for individuals, families, schools, or businesses navigating access questions in France.

• Want to understand how to use G7 taxis with a powerchair?
  

• Nervous about flying into CDG with severe allergies or feeding tube supplies?
  

• Confused by SNCF InOui vs TER vs RER vs Eurostar?
  

• Need reassurance that your rental flat in the Marais can truly accommodate your son’s special needs?
  

I’ve been there. I empathize and I will help you find the best possible path forward to ensure your travel to France is a success.

Travel Blog & YouTube Channel

Part travelogue, part resource hub, part lived testimony, my blog and vlog document the real, unvarnished experience of traveling in France with visible and invisible disabilities. Each destination is approached not only with transparency and care, but with the eye of a trained historian. With a graduate education in Modern European History and years of lived experience navigating France’s layered past, I offer more than logistical tips. I offer rich context.

For Disabled travelers and their families, this means:

• A deeper understanding of cultural and historical sites.
  

• Reflections on architectural evolution, public memory, and how it intersects with modern access.
  

• Honest assessments of whether a place is not only technically accessible, but functionally worthwhile, safe, and comfortable for your energy, time, and dignity.
  

Coverage includes:

• Paris: Museums, churches, parks, arrondissement breakdowns, G7 taxis, accessible hotel areas, and all things Disneyland Paris, from accommodations to queueing systems, from really enjoying to parks as a person “mostly there for the ambience” to quiet zones and dietary options.
  

• Northern France: Lille, Amiens, Roubaix, and the Opal Coast with its coastal cliffs, WWI memorials, and regional trains.
  

• Western France: Saint-Malo, Nantes, and the Loire Valley with its castles, and heritage towns.
  

• Southwest: Bordeaux, Arcachon, and rural Dordogne with its vineyard access, especially factoring in food allergies, slow tourism, and neurodivergent children.
  

• Southeast: Cannes, Nice, Antibes, Montpellier, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, from Belle Époque hotels to Roman ruins, and how accessible really means accessible.
  

• The Alps: Chamonix, Annecy, Grenoble with its mountain railways, scenic overlooks, and thermal spas, especially for those with chronic illnesses.
  

• Corsica: Island access, local transport quirks, and cultural nuance in terrain few travel bloggers document at all.
  

• Cross-border: Eurostar between Paris and London, and comparative insight on French vs. British disability policies and practicalities.
  

Whether you're planning a honeymoon, a pilgrimage, or a long-awaited return to a beloved region, this channel is designed to equip you with both information and inspiration, not to convince you France is perfect (because nowhere really is!) but to show you that it’s possible, that it’s worth it, and that you deserve to experience it fully.

These aren't slick, polished influencer reels designed to convince and sell. They’re truthful, respectful, beautifully filmed and thoughtfully written explorations of life in motion in France for the Disabled traveler.

Affiliate Partnerships (Selective & Transparent)

As Accessible France grows, I may selectively partner with local French brands, services, and destinations I genuinely trust. These may include adaptive clothing designers, hotel groups, travel apps, mobility support products, and sensory aids -- always disclosed, never gimmicky. My only loyalty is to my readers and clients. Any recommendation will be grounded in experience, not profit.
