France is one of the most popular destinations amongst wheelchair users and many holiday spots now offer them adapted accommodation and solutions.

As accessibility in many places of France is often a problem, you may want to plan your stay in advance to avoid your holidays becoming a nightmare. Brittany is one of the regions offering many flats or houses adapted to wheelchair users' needs, and it is a region full of character.

The French website J'accede (in French) is a must-visit as it does provide a directory of accessible venues in France including bars, restaurants, cafés, etc. Many French départements take initiatives every year to make more venues accessible as you will be able to find out on this site.
