Cultural Accessibility, Neuro-Inclusive Travel, and Independent Mobility Design

Accessible France is a France-based consultancy and media platform I founded to address a gap that neither the travel industry nor public institutions were meaningfully solving: how Disabled, neurodivergent, and allergy-vulnerable people actually navigate France in practice.

My work combines lived Disability expertise, historical and cultural scholarship, multilingual research, and on-the-ground systems analysis.

to produce actionable, dignity-preserving access solutions, not generic “accessible travel” claims.

What I Do

1. Independent Accessibility Audits & Systems Analysis

I conduct non-institutional accessibility audits of, hotels and short-term accommodation, transport systems and routes, and cultural institutions and heritage sites.

These audits go beyond checklist compliance and instead evaluate real-world wheelchair navigation, sensory load and cognitive fatigue, staff interaction friction points, allergy exposure risks, and evacuation and emergency viability.

Deliverables include written reports, route maps, and decision frameworks usable by both travelers and institutions.

2. Bespoke Itinerary Design for Complex Access Needs

I design high-complexity itineraries for individuals and families with intersecting needs, including power wheelchair users, people with severe dysautonomia or fatigue disorders, autistic travelers, travelers with rare or life-threatening food allergies, and travelers navigating low sight or hearing impairment.

Each itinerary integrates step-by-step transit instructions, access-verified dining and accommodation, pacing and recovery planning, contingency routing

The goal is dignity and autonomy where health and ability allows, not dependence on companions or constant assistance.

3. Public-Facing Cultural Translation & Advocacy

Accessible France functions as a public education platform, translating French infrastructure and bureaucracy into usable knowledge for international audiences.

This includes long-form essays and guides, visual walkthroughs and accessibility explainers, and policy-literate commentary on transport and heritage access.

My work is intentionally bilingual and culturally grounded, aimed at travelers, cultural institutions, tourism authorities, and Disability advocates.

Why This Work Is Distinct

Accessible France is not a travel blog.

It is a new model of cultural access work, distinguished by integration of historical and infrastructural analysis, refusal of performative or symbolic “accessibility,” focus on decision-making autonomy for disabled people, and translation of opaque systems into operational knowledge. This work sits at the intersection of culture, Disability justice, infrastructure, and public communication.

Professional Context

I am a historian and writer with graduate training in Modern European History, multilingual research capacity, and a professional background spanning education, cultural institutions, and public-facing media. Accessible France reflects that synthesis: rigorous, ethical, and grounded in lived reality.

Ongoing Directions

Current work includes expanded regional accessibility mapping beyond Paris, institutional consulting for cultural and tourism bodies, publication of formal guides and white-paper-style reports, and collaborative projects with European partners.
