The departement Bouches du Rhone has 7 beaches with facilities for handicapped visitors who want a seasonal dip. Special parking places are reserved for a small number of families who can use the changing rooms and bathrooms, beach chairs and umbrellas, then adapted wheelchairs that roll down plasticised carpets into the sea. The numbers are limited to four families at a time who need to pre-book this free service. Staff are in place to help.
What a splendid idea. Details:
The South of France. Enchanted by the deep blue of the Mediterranean, the olive trees, poppies, irises and that dazzling light, artists found their creativity flourished under the hot sun. My new book takes you on a journey visiting museums and galleries as well as artists’ studios and their favourite painting spots. From Van Gogh in Arles, to Signac in Saint-Tropez; from Cézanne in Aix, over to Nice for Renoir and Matisse, the story unfolds of artists who knew each other and painted together in the warm south. Prepare too to meet colourful local artists who captured their beloved Provence for us to enjoy.

Hi Lynne, We went to the beach the other day and saw that there was an effort being made for those who are less mobile. Thank you for sharing.
Well done to the french authorities for funding this. Such a good idea and it must be fantastic for the families concerned. 🇫🇷
