FEW STEPS TOO MANY !!

No, I was not dreaming! This old house, which was a simple management office, was transformed into a bank. As if there were not enough of them in this town of Marly le Roi (near Paris), where there are already thirty six thousand banks.
But come back to this new bank, which is not accessible to wheelchairs because there are four big steps in front of the entrance. People working in this bank do not know that disabled people are the same as others. They may be poor or rich.
And what if, during a full moon, I played bingo, and I were the winner. Yes, I know, everybody has this dream. And I will be very, very, very rich. An important question comes to my small mind: where would I put my money to make it grow? Probably, I will go to see the big banks. The ones, which will be accessible. Yes, accessible !
It’s schocking that buildings without accessibility are still being built.
In France, a country of human rights, the word « accessibility » is often forgotten by architects. However there is the 1975 accessibility law, which says: all new public buildings must be built to be accessible to people with disabilities.
It’s true that, since this period, there have been a lot of modifications of post offices, museums, cinemas and other public buildings. Some parking places are reserved. Many things have been done, however not enough yet. I think that able-bodied people often make fun of people with disabilities. They are in their egoist world. They are not civic-minded. I hope this will change in the near future.
