Tell us what you think of France’s plan to ban adult-only hospitality facilities

We would like to hear from people on what they think about hotels, restaurants and campsites that are for adults only, and whether they should be banned

Adult-only hospitality establishments in France, such as restaurants, hotels and campsites, which don’t admit children could face prosecution following government plans to crack down on them.

The high commissioner for childhood, Sarah El Haïry, said the “no-kids trend” amounted to “violence against children” but that her target was not couples who decide to remain childless, but adults who do not want to be disturbed by other people’s children.

She said: “A child shouts, laughs and moves … we are institutionalising the idea that silence is a luxury and the absence of children is a luxury.”

We would like to hear your thoughts on the proposals. Do you think hospitality venues for over-18s only should be banned or not? Do you have experience of going to a hotel or restaurant that is for adults only – what was it like? If you have children, what has your experience been like with venues that are for adults only?
