Disabled Travellers
Due to the venerable design of
most Provençal hotels, few are
able to offer unrestricted wheel­
chair access. Larger hotels have
lifts, and hotel staff will go out
of their way to aid disabled
guests. Most resort hotels and
many B&Bs have at least one
or two accessible rooms. The
Association des Paralysés
de France (APF) has useful
information on their website.
Other useful sources of
information are Mobility
International and Tourism
for All, who publish a guide to
France listing specialized tour
operators for disabled travellers. Olive groves surround the pool at serene La Bonne Etape, Château-Arnoux (see p201)
