Client 364: Retts Syndrome, Trip to Paris to visit art museums, April 2023
"A wonderful man came to our rescue, he stopped his car and insisted on driving us all up the hill to the very front of the Sacre Coeur."
The grant from CS Disabled Holidays allowed my carers and I to have 6 days in Paris visiting Art Galleries and Paris Landmarks which was a dream come true!. I got to see so many of my wishes come true – I saw the Starry Night by van Gogh, and many things I had never thought possible including the Mona Lisa – it was arranged so I could get right up front – I had assumed it would be much to busy for me to be able to see her.
When I was hoping to see the Sacre Coeur my poor carers were really struggling to push me up the hill, its really steep. A wonderful man came to our rescue, he stopped his car and insisted on driving us all up the hill to the very front of the Sacre Coeur – we new there was an entrance at the back with a lift straight to the Basilica – my comment was “I can’t think of anything more beautiful at the end of the most wonderful trip, it was been a dream come true”. This trip was truly only possible thanks to 2 wonderful carers and the trustees of CS Disabled Holidays. Thank you so much.
