Why is Paris so inaccessible?

Published: May 20, 2024, 6 a.m.

Meet Parisian woman Virginie Dubost. In 2018, she became a quadriplegic after a surfing accident.\xa0

Now, she is an accessibility advocate and has made headlines in Paris for drawing attention to accessibility issues in the city.\xa0

She joined us in the lovely Square Santiago-du-Chili in the 7th arrondissement to talk about Paris, its low level of accessibility, and how it can be improved. Here's the viral video she featured in, which we talked about in the show (4 million hits on Instagram!)

Find out more about Virginie via her Instagram page here.\xa0
