audetourisme.com - Tourism & handicap

In Languedoc-Roussillon, where people have a harsh accent, lies a land of character where past gives strength to the present.

At the foot of the ancient Cité de Carcassonne, between the Mediterranean at East and the  Lauragais at West, lies the world's most fickle, light and wild land :Aude, the Cathar Country.

The key word here is diversity. In spectacular natural landscapes, in the heart of ageless vineyards, you will discover successively romanesque abbeys, caves, beaches and seaside ponds.

You will wander under the hundred-year-old trees of the Canal du Midi, or will practice mountain or sea outdoor activities.

You will take the invitation of culinary pleasures, great wines and Aude's gastronomy.

Welcome in Aude, the Cathar Country

The Label Tourisme & Handicap is an answer to disabled persons' request to be able to choose their holidays and activities with freedom. It brings the guarantee of an adapted service to particular needs of the disabled.

The logo, visible on the entrance of sites, organisations, tourist equipement shops and visible on all documents, informs in a reliable, homogeneous and objective way on their accessibility to the different types of disability (motor, visual, hearing and mental).

The label Tourism & Handicap favours the emergence of products and touristic services truly open to all, and garantees to disabled tourists, access to information giving them the maximum autonomy. One site is labelled for one, two, three or four types of handicap.
