Inside the buildings, it is visible and legible to all. However for the lift, the pictogram is not placed in a good place.

Facilities:

Sanitary facilities:

There is a signposted adapted toilet, but the equipment is poorly positioned, so it does not offer the comfort of use.

The changing rooms are not adapted, they are on the same level and have fixed benches with hooks at 1.60m. There is insufficient lighting.

The showers are not adapted, they are on the same level.

All the doors are contrasted and their opening widths allow all people with special needs to pass through them.

No alarm with flashing light.

No wifi access and no induction loop.

There is an adapted lift and wheelchair users can use it.

Cafeteria:

 The cafeteria and the terrace are level on a non-floating surface, which may be slippery depending on the season for the terrace. The tables are accessible by wheelchair, circulation is easy between the furniture and the lighting is continuous.

This place has a rest area with a cosy atmosphere and a view of the indoor tennis courts that is accessible to wheelchair users. The lighting in this area is not continuous and creates backlighting.

Miscellaneous :

The staff are not trained to receive people with special needs but are very willing and helpful. They are available to help the customer to sit at the table, choose, serve and pay whatever the situation.
