FRENCH ORGANISATIONS FOR DISABLED PEOPLE (page 12)

Sadly the Comité National Français de Liaison pour la Réadaptation des Handicapés (CNFLRH), 38 bd Raspail, with whom we had very friendly relations back in the early 1990s no longer exists - as its funding was not maintained.

As it says on the Paris home page, we are working with the Association des Paralysés de France (www.apf.asso.fr) and with a group called Mobile en Ville (www.mobile-en-ville.asso.fr), both of whom are active in the Paris area in connection with access issues.

USEFUL ORGANISATIONS AND CONTACT POINTS (pages 13-15)

GENERAL INFORMATION (pages 7-25)

Maps and guides available (pages 19-20)

A particularly good (in our view) new guide to Paris was published in 2004, called The AA Key Guide Paris. Among other good features it includes some useful walks, taking you past some of the major sights, and their page on 'Visitors with a disability' is amongst the best we have found in a conventional guidebook.
