Xmas is here and the use of light to brighten the winter months has gathered pace, heading to Xmas and beyond. Previously we’ve identified the best places for a disabled person Xmas getaway so 2024 is the year of the ‘exceptional window displays’. Not only are they free to view but also accessible to anyone with a disability….

This is true as long as the pavements are accommodating, with no trip hazards. Even people with sight loss can enjoy the buzz. Here are some we found and we have to say New York, Paris and London are difficult to beat when it comes to the quantity of Holiday Window Displays. Luckily they all have an online store for those who can’t visit.

The Home of Christian Dior, at Ave. Montaigne, Paris is probably the most beautiful and tasteful shop display.
