A new hotel in France celebrates innovators, including Louis Braille! His bust appears in the lobby among other great innovators. The Ki Space Hotel & Spa, located near Mr. Braille’s hometown of Coupvray just outside Paris, also generously served as a sponsor for the Braille Bicentennial. How thrilling and uplifting to find a French hotel commemorating Louis Braille!
Louis Braille was a musician, teacher, and inventor of the tactile reading system named after him. Braille is critical to the education of blind and Deafblind children, but organizations around the world have been cutting Braille training. Please urge your local organizations to continue supporting Braille.
