Dernier Quartier Général de Napoléon - Access-i

Whether alone, with friends or family, children, senior citizens, disabled or not, coming by car, bike or public transport, each visitor can discover the museum at his or her own pace and according to his or her own wishes. The museum offers a range of facilities to help visitors better understand this moment in history...

'Le Dernier QG de Napoléon' welcomes visitors all year round (except on 1 January and 25 December) for self-guided tours of its museum. It also organises guided tours for school groups, families and the visually impaired. The museum has the Bienvenue Vélo label. This means that the museum's facilities and repair equipment are available to cyclists.

The museum is suitable for a wide range of users : children, senior citizens, families, people with disabilities, as well as specialised, traditional, individual and group visitors.

The outside areas are not suitable for everyone, but most of the exhibition inside the house is. 

At 'Le Dernier QG de Napoléon', the standard admission price is charged to disabled visitors, and the accompanying person is admitted free of charge.
