The beaches are not always accessible to people with disabilities. In the agglomeration of Lorient, work has been carried out, and three beaches are now labeled “handiplages”.
A short descent from the beach accompanied by the lifeguard, and off you go for a refreshing moment. A few minutes of happiness, for Jean-Baptiste and his father-in-law. “It makes him feel good, and it makes us feel good to see him well too”, confides the latter, Pascal. Every day since the beginning of the summer, people with disabilities have been welcomed by lifeguards from Ploemeur (Morbihan), who provide suitable equipment.
A free service
“It’s a free service, it’s a city service, and we try to best meet all requests”, says Erwann Le Dortz, lifeguard. If the beaches are more and more accessible, this one, in Ploemeur, is the only one in Morbihan to have the third level of the label does not plague. “The criteria are essentially accessibility criteria, and the staff that we make available, and the infrastructure“, explains Armelle Gegousse, first deputy to the town hall of Ploemeur.
