Marie-Claire navigates her wheelchair through the cobblestones of Montmartre, her eight-year-old daughter skipping alongside. Ahmad, a blind pianist from Morocco, touches the carved façade of Notre-Dame, feeling centuries of history through his fingertips.

These travelers represent millions who seek the magic of France but face barriers—physical, sensory, linguistic, cultural, or economic—that the industry only recently began addressing seriously.
