Adults-only hotels risk being BANNED in popular European country - as they are a 'threat to society'
International news
Adults-only hotels, campsites and restaurants could be banned in France as part of a planned government crackdown. Sarah El Haïry, France's high commissioner for childhood, has said that the country's 'no kids trend' has caused 'violence against children', reports The Times.
The commissioner said that people who complain about children being noisy are spreading the 'idea that children are a nuisance'.
She claimed that adults-only venues were dividing society and putting pressure on parents.
El Haïry told RTL: 'There is a growing intolerance and we must not allow it to take hold.
'It's not in our culture, it's not in our philosophy, and it's not what we want to see as the norm in our country.'
She explained that government lawyers are currently looking at taking legal action against hotels that refuse to allow children.
