Having a dog in town has its advantages… and its disadvantages.

Far from the forest, don't forget to pick up your pet's droppings on the sidewalks.

But the self-service bags, offered by some cities for this purpose, are not always located near the “crime” scene.

There is also the problem of greenery.

What four-legged friend doesn't dream of lounging in the grass?

But that's without counting on the number of city parks that are forbidden to dogs.

Also, where to find a veterinarian, yet essential for the medical follow-up of your dog, near your home?

In short, a dog in town is not easy.

And many people are affected by this situation.

According to a study by Statista, in 2021 more than 65% of French households had a pet, including a quarter a dog.

Holidu is launching this year its first ranking of the most suitable cities in France to welcome our companions, whether for holidays or to live there.

Spoiler: Paris is not at the top of the ranking.

We find in the top 3: La Rochelle, Clermont-Ferrand and Chambéry.

And you, owner of your beloved "bibou", are you satisfied with the welcome given to your dog in your city?

What difficulties do you encounter on a daily basis?

Or, what are the facilities put in place by your municipality that you appreciate?

Are the restaurants tolerant with the reception of your animal?
