Welcome to Access-i

RD Gîte - Bonneville

Completely renovated, an old stone barn welcomes you in a rural and very bright setting. With a surface area of 90 m², the 3-star gîte is designed to allow perfect accessibility for people with reduced mobility. The building has been completely refurbished using ecological materials to create a very low energy home. It was awarded an "Exemplary Building" prize.

Access-i certified accommodation for all types of disabilities. This means wheelchair users, people with walking difficulties, blind people, visually impaired people, deaf people, people with hearing difficulties and people with comprehension difficulties.

The gîte is located at the back of the owners' house. You have to go along the house on your left (as indicated by the signs) to reach the gîte.

The PRM room is on the ground floor (instead of the living room) and two other rooms are on the first floor (accessible via a staircase).
