Marie-Amélie Le Fur: ‘The Paris Paralympics raise awareness of accessibility’

Marie-Amélie Le Fur, President of the French Paralympic and Sports Committee, talks to FRANCE 24 and RFI a year ahead of the opening ceremony of the first Paralympic Games to be held in France. The former para-athlete and nine-time Games medalist takes stock of the organisation and the immense challenges still to be met, especially the accessibility to transport and accommodation. On the sporting front, while the situation is improving, there is still a great deal of work to be done. For example, less than 2 percent of French sports clubs welcome para-athletes today.
