During our careers in the Netherlands (Gerda, my wife, was
a social worker in Tilburg for 15 years and I worked in the
rehabilitation sector for over 25 years), we noticed that
there were very few genuine adapted holiday homes available,
and certainly not in other countries. It is extremely difficult
for people, particularly those with a severe handicap, to
find holiday accommodation suitable enough to be able to enjoy
a holiday more or less independently. Many people told us
that they had not been on holiday for many years. This presented
us with a challenge.
In May 2000, we had the opportunity to buy a vineyard with
a reasonable amount of ground in the South of France. During
the moments that we spent our leisure time there, an idea
was born to build a traditional, super-adapted bungalow beside
our vineyard which would offer people with a handicap the
opportunity of sharing a holiday with their family or friends
in a private setting. As you will see on our website click
here we successfully realized our specially adapted
dream holiday home. We are delighted with it; it looks absolutely
beautiful! The bungalow consists of a comfortable, spacious
lounge, a large specially adapted bedroom with en-suite
adapted bathroom, two guest rooms (one of which has an en-suite
bathroom), an open-plan kitchen, spacious hall with guest
toilet, and not forgetting the large terrace with a stunningly
beautiful view across the magnificent French countryside.
In May 2002 the building work was complete and since then
we have been amply occupied each year. We receive wonderful
responses and a number of our guests return regularly. This
specially adapted holiday home is available throughout the
entire year. We hope to be able to greet you soon as our
guest in France.
The house is completely step-free
and all doors have a minimum width of 90 cm. The tiled floor
is running throughout all rooms to the terrace, car
park and around the house.
