EVENT LOUNGE
Support :
The project to audit and certify 12 VENUES infrastructures was made possible by the valuable support of :
Please note :
This certification only concerns the building and not future events that may take place in it.
During events, the layout of the premises may change, resulting in a change in accessibility. The responsibility for this change would then lie with the event organiser.
Furthermore, the certification visit only concerned the public part of the building and not the rented parts.
