Hey all,

I went to France for a month from June to July this year (2011), I went to the major tourist attractions and found out that they have great accommodations for the disabled. Quite a few major tourist attractions will let disabled people in for free. The gotcha is that you need to be a EU citizen, OR have a card of some sort that serves as proof of disability or deafness.

Even though I did not have one, I would show them my hearing aids and they usually let me through, but some places were strict. Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone knows if this is a EU thing, or just France? How do I go about getting one of these cards? The convenience of having one of these cards would be great for future trips.

I am currently residing in Salem, Oregon if that helps..

Regards,
~Adam
 
I've never heard of it being used in the U.S. You probably need to contact France's commission on deaf citizens to get that information.
