However, this often imposes constraints or major difficulties for accessibility, with access points that are complicated or restrictive for disabled people.
Of note are the efforts for greater accessibility made by the Paris City Council in terms of accommodation, transport, roads, access to culture and other leisure activities … Nevertheless, major constraints remain.

The law of 11 February 2005 and its different decrees seeks a generalized accessibility, regardless of the type of disability: physical, sensorial, mental. In particular, the regulations fix the measures destined to make new or already existing Establishments Receiving the Public (ERP) and Installations Open to the Public (IOP) accessible to disabled people.

Within the framework of its policy in favour of accessibility to holidays and leisure for disabled people, the Secretary of State for Tourism has put in place a “Quality Initiative”, for the welcoming of disabled people, in partnership with tourism professionals and associations representing the world of disability. This mission has been given to the association Tourisme & Handicaps, created on 28 February 2001.

Aims of the national label :

- Provide reliable and objective information on accessibility and tourist facilities taking into account all types of disability.

- Develop a tourism offer that is adapted and integrated into the general offer.

- Give a competitive edge to tourism professionals adopting these initiatives.

The label “Tourisme & Handicap” may be given for one, two, three or four types of disability: physical, visual, hearing, mental. It is attributed for a duration of five years, renewable by amendment after the standards for welcome and accessibility have been checked.
