The "Tourisme & Handicap" label in a nutshell
The "Tourisme & Handicap" label was created in 2001 in response to demand from people with disabilities. The aim is to provide reliable, descriptive and objective information on the accessibility of tourist sites and facilities, taking into account all types of disability: hearing, mental, motor and visual.
For professionals in the sector, "Tourisme & Handicap" represents recognition of their efforts in terms of accessibility, whether they have been awarded the label for accommodating at least 2, 3 or 4 types of disability.
The label is awarded for a period of 5 years.

Obtaining the label is free of charge.
