Rossignol said these resorts “allow people to say: ‘I don’t like children and I don’t want to see them.’

In my case, it’s closer to “I usually like children, but don’t want to be around obnoxious ones, or inconsiderate parents who don’t know how to handle their kids.”

An expert report last year on reducing French children’s screen-time said children must be given more alternatives to phones and take up their “rightful place” in society, including “their right to be noisy”.

Don’t I have a right to not be around that noise, especially while on a vacation that I’m paying for?
