France Debates Child-Free Resorts: Ban Calls Intensify

France Debates Child-Free Resorts: Ban Calls Intensify

Some people in France are debating whether it's okay to have hotels and resorts that don't allow children.

One senator wants to make it illegal because she thinks it's not fair to exclude kids, comparing it to not allowing dogs.

The government is also encouraging places that welcome kids.

Some people like these kid-free zones to relax, but others worry it makes children feel unwelcome in society.

The debate is happening because France is traditionally family-focused, but some see a need for relaxation.

Some hotel owners say they are just meeting customer demand.
