[Travelandtourism] Service animals in France and Spain

[Janet DeLuca]

Hi Peter,

I was just in Spain and France in October.
I have to say they are both guide/service dog friendly. While in Spain we
noticed on the sidewalks there is a tactile line for cane or guide dog
users.
You will enjoy your trip, the other place that I fell in love with was
Greece, and they are very blind friendly with the tactile sidewalks too.
Spain and Greece also have the sidewalks that are dented in about 10 inches
or so to keep you on a straight line. The Europeans are warm and inviting to
those of us with disabilities.
Have fun... Happy Travels

Hi all-

I wrote some time back tentatively, but am reinitiating the research now for
a trip we really would like to book if possible.  I use a vision assist dog.
My wife uses an assistance dog.  We fly domestically regularly and all do
fine.  We would like to go to Spain and to France.  Calling the embassies so
far has proven not very helpful - they try to be helpful but they don't seem
to really know the answers.  

What we are trying to find out is whether service animals area allowed
access in those two countries.  Have any of you had experience with a
service dog in France, or in Spain?  
regularly
Thanks so much,
Peter
