Wheelchair users
Disabled parking spaces are available
Access to the museum is via a horizontal gravel path which starts at the
parking area.
Inside the museum, the exhibition rooms and cinema are wheelchair
accessible.
Wheelchair access is possible (via a steep ramp) to the lobby of the
cave which contains our shop and bookstore.
Visiting the cave is not possible because of the stairs.
There is easy access to the ticket office in front of the parking area
(between the ticket office and the museum there is a flight of stairs
and a slightly longer wheelchair route).
It is possible to bring a car or van close to the museum entrance
temporarily to drop off or pick up a visitor.
Toilets are accessible in the museum without climbing any stairs, but
they are not specially modified for handicapped people.
People who can walk with some
difficulty.
The guided visit lasts an hour and is done on foot.
The access stair to the tour has 40 steps down and back up.
The tour distance is around 400m, broken up by stops to view the panels
and paintings.
The path is made-up with ramps and hand rails but the ground is uneven
in places.
It is a flat route broken up by stairs up and down (between 3 and 20
steps).
It is necessary to keep up with the pace of the group
but you can take your time climbing up the 40 steps at the end of
the tour.
Mention any concerns to the guide at the start - he will help you.
People who are deaf or hard of hearing
During the visit to the cave, we will loan you a book of the commentary
in English (also available in other languages).
People with impaired vision
The path through the cave is accessible (there are ramps and hand
rails).
The cave is dimly lit; the slopes and stairs are equipped with runway
lighting.
In the museum you can touch relief reproductions of prehistoric
paintings (hand stencils).
Physical or mental handicap
You are welcome. If you form a complete group for a visit to the cave
(25 people), the guide will adapt his commentary to your needs.
