A range of suitable spotlights
To locate these spots, the easiest way is to consult the website of the relevant departmental fishing federation, which generally lists PMR stations, pontoons and accessible waterways. A useful complementary tool is the Activhandi website, which lists a selection of ??handieurospêche spots? with detailed information sheets for each department, including type of water, labels and access arrangements.
Demanding specifications
The Fédération Nationale de la Pêche en France (FNPF) supports the creation of adapted courses, with "Découverte", "Famille" or "Passion" labels, often supported by local authorities. In addition, the national ??Tourisme et Handicap? (Tourism and Handicap) label applies to certain sites, with exacting specifications (dedicated parking areas, moving walkways, adapted railings).
All over France
In AuvergneeurosRh'neeurosAlpes, for example, ??Pêche et Milieux Aquatiques? (Fishing and Aquatic Environments Plans) have enabled the restoration of environments and the development of accessible sites, while other departments such as CharenteeurosMaritime now boast some fifteen ??Préréduite Mobilité Réduite? (Reduced Mobility Person) areas scattered along rivers and ponds.
Adapted fishing offers a place to relax, share and recharge one's batteries, appreciated by disabled people and their families alike. Tourist offices, nature parks and local communities are increasingly relaying these sites, making fishing a real lever for inclusive outdoor tourism.
In practice
In practice, the ideal approach for an angler with reduced mobility is to :
- Identify your area (department, river or body of water) ;
- Consult the website of the departmental federation + the corresponding Activhandi page;
- Check for the Tourisme et Handicap label and complete with information from the local tourist office.
Today, handieurospêche spots can be found thanks to a number of complementary levers, which make it easy to locate suitable positions anywhere in France.
