As a French person I can sadly confirm that there's barely any accessibility in here, no matter your disability and needs. It's a constant struggle wherever you are, from private to public places up to the streets of a big and supposedly modern city. What you see in Paris is the "best" you get...and it sucks. And worst thing is it's most certainly only going to get worse... I hope you could still enjoy your trip there ❤ love your content and the constant joy and awareness you bring ✨
Hopefully they'll add more. It sounds like they're just starting to implement accessibility for blind visitors, so they might still be learning the "how" of making stuff accessible for us. Great start, though.
This is amazing! Even for people who don’t have 100% blindness, but can see shapes and colors and light, this is a way to actually see what you’re looking at, without it just being fuzzy colors and light
Would be really nice if the Louvre put more effort into their accessibility aids. The 2DS? Is a surprising device to see. Really should not cost money to get access to.
That's what I thought, too. "You can't see our paintings, despite being physically here, because of your disability? Ooohhh that sucks, FOR YOU, here comes my 5 euro"
$5 and it STILL isn’t worth the money because of how little it’s actually accessible……. Tell me you barely tried, without telling me you barely tried. The Louvre will go first
@@Ignacio-hv5ylThat's a really garbage attitude to have. Why don't blind people deserve to experience everything that you do, especially if it's something they paid for. That's like saying "sure, the braille on this sign might be totally wrong and incomplete and not helpful at all, but you should just be grateful they put any braille there at all and stop complaining". It seems extra to you, but if you were blind, I bet you'd feel differently.
The living art museum in Seattle Paul & Molly went to was amazing! If you are able to go meet Paul and his guide dog mr maple I’m sure he would love to go the the museum with you! 😊❤
Dang, that mist be crazy. Going to the louvre, as a blind person, cant touch anything can't feel anything. All you get to do, is listen to the audio guided tour
I know museums usually charge extra for audio guides, but surely it should be free by default for the visually impaired. You’re essentially being made to pay more to experience exhibits at all because of a disability, that is shady as heck. Do better Louvre.
Nope. How is it that one of the world's most famous museums have this lousy accesibility acomodations? And charge extra for them?!?! Nope. No. Noooo! What the heck are they doing???
Yep, like other people can refer to themselves how they wish, but so often I've had able bodied people *insist* I refer to myself their way because otherwise I'm ableist. 🤦 Ah yes, the disabled person is ableist, not the able bodied person dictating how a disabled person refers to themself.
@@waffles3629 It’s so obnoxious! They wouldn’t want us telling them how to describe themselves! You’re not alone. And I love your username. It made me smile this morning 🥰
@@Jitmommy33 aww, thanks. And yeah, it's really obnoxious. Especially when people try to insist you use [insert obnoxious euphemism of the month here]. I've had someone adamantly *insist* I call myself "specially abled". When I asked what was so special about having a migraine I was called ableist. 🤦 I can't decide if it's more obnoxious than the people who hear me refer to myself at disabled and immediately start trying to convince me to not give up on life. As in unalive myself give up on life. It's gross.
@@waffles3629 I agree that it’s gross but you have me cracking up over here! 😂😂😂 I used to have migraines and they were horrible so I’m not laughing at your pain. I’m just saying the way you typed that out was gold! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s so interesting because in the US they can’t charge for accessibility items. They can hold your ID while you have the Item. Which has only recently ever been problematic for me now that some movie theatres serve alcohol. I go to order a drink, they need to check my ID and the customer service desk has it. 😂
@@ANT-jm4qx I wouldn’t know where to start/don’t really want to go through the process of figuring out how to get a fake ID. And expired IDs are clipped. Several years ago I was a manager at an AMC theatre. The policy rolled out when I was leaving, it had to be a valid ID as it’s meant to be a deterrent to stealing them. Which became a common issue at the theatres in bigger cities quite quickly. As for the Bar staff. They are only going to take a valid ID in my state and a fake one is illegal.

Yeah I’ve noticed, as someone who is from Texas, u.s., that there is also a lot of ableism when it comes to autism.
But that was also through my own research as an autistic person
Guess you shouldn't be handicapped
Yes, this is so sad... And the governement don't talk about it!
Sounds like the Louvre did the absolute minimum legal requirement.
So what more should they do for the benefit of so few?
Wow thanks for continuing to spread awareness about your experiences. You are certainly helping so many people
It's cool that the booklet exists at all, but it's sad that it only has so few paintings. Very mixed emotions here.
Hopefully they'll add more. It sounds like they're just starting to implement accessibility for blind visitors, so they might still be learning the "how" of making stuff accessible for us. Great start, though.
@@joannestark3023Unfortunately they've had it for a while without improvement. France is a very inaccessible country.

The Louvre uses the 3DS because of a deal with Nintendo years ago. Sadly in France this pittance of accessibility is considered good.
Can't help but wonder if they'd have ANYTHING had that deal with Nintendo not happened 😅
Its a special service, of course it has a cost
Why is the audio coming from a Nintendo 3DS?
Nintendo had a deal with the Louvre some years back to make tour software and sent them a bunch of 3DSs.
Charging for accessibility :/
Disability tax 😖
That's what I thought, too. "You can't see our paintings, despite being physically here, because of your disability? Ooohhh that sucks, FOR YOU, here comes my 5 euro"
How evil to charge you for a special service! Lol, you lefties just want everything for free
$5 and it STILL isn’t worth the money because of how little it’s actually accessible……. Tell me you barely tried, without telling me you barely tried. The Louvre will go first
You people just love to complain. Not a little bit gratefull that they at least have something for blind people

@@shannonrickard8605 even if I were blind I wouldnt be bitching like you do
I love the accent of this girl
Thats so interesting that nintendo does blind audios

hope they add more tactile options in the future! thank you for creating awareness
The coolest thing about the audio guides is that it is a 3ds
To the LOO i thougth she said first, LOL
It really should be free for those of us who are blind or visually impaired
Brilliant roundup. €5 not too bad but should be free. ❤
Dang, that mist be crazy. Going to the louvre, as a blind person, cant touch anything can't feel anything. All you get to do, is listen to the audio guided tour
That is excellent!!!!!!
You can still see the Mona Lisa about as well as i could when I went, i.e., not at all
Bro that looks like one In lady bug and catnoir
That’s so cool!!

Your so wholsem❤❤❤
This is shameful. Shame on France. (Not the people)
Nope. How is it that one of the world's most famous museums have this lousy accesibility acomodations? And charge extra for them?!?!
Nope. No. Noooo! What the heck are they doing???
❤
It makes me slightly annoyed that they still have not got with it in the year 2023. All the technology available but for the wrong things.
WHO IS IN PARIS
You've seen I thought u were blind (not being rude just asking)❤❤
Huh? She is very open about being blind. Blindness is a large spectrum.
I'm sorry but charging $5 for an audio tour is bullshit
THATS WHERE THEY RECORDED HEARSTOPPERRRRRR
I love how you say “a blind girl” because people want to argue over “I have autism” versus “I’m autistic”. I’m autistic, dang it! Sheesh ♥️♥️

For what claims to be the leading gallery in the world, that’s a pretty poor show.

Can you just give them an expired or fake ID?
