A site is labelled in relation to one, two, three or four types of disability, once its disabled access7facilities have been verified by trained assessors members of The "Tourisme et Handicaps" Association: validity of labels lasts for five years and can be renewed after being checked.

The association works towards a nation-wide harmonisation of the scheme and does the necessary work to develop the standards for accessibility. The Ile-de-France CRT (regional tourist board) is a member of the association.

The complete list of the labelled sites is available at http://english.pidf.com/page/p-896. For each one of them, the pictograms specify for which type of impairment the site/service is labelled as well as other useful info and contact data.
