Call to ban ‘intolerant’ child-free resorts and hotels in France

Debate grows as Senator Laurence Rossignol says we can't organise society by separating children off'

We can't organise society by separating children off from ourselves in the same way some establishments don't take dogs," said Socialist senator and former French families minister Laurence Rossignol. Children aren't troublesome pets."
