People with reduced mobility
Strong points
-Several parking spaces are reserved at the Blue and Purple car parks. These parking spaces are located on the asphalt road and are signposted. Remember to arrive well in advance and to choose your car park according to the shows that interest you. In the event of excessive traffic and if it is available, a drop-off zone is provided in the Purple car park (as it is difficult to turn around in the other car parks).
-Ticket offices at the entrances (at each car park): ticket machines are too high > a volunteer will be available to come and assist you. Please note: payment in cash only.
- Most of the paths are asphalt (road). The new pedestrain bridge has a small step before and after the bridge but these will be filled in. Kerbs will be compensated by ramps.
- Adapted itineraries are proposed, including a selection of shows for people with disabilities.
- Adapted toilets will be present at several locations throughout the Festival (see map). Please note: the disabled toilet in the Breux (n° 9) area is difficult to access because of a gravel path.
