Welcome to Access-i

Tour & Taxis – Les Sheds

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.

Description of the VENUE :

One of the largest and most flexible event spaces in the capital, the Sheds host exhibitions, cultural events, fairs and shows that attract visitors from all over the world every year.

The Tour & Taxis site has several entrances. The entrances accessible to PRMs are rue Picard 1 and 3 and avenue du Port 86.

The interior of the building is divisible at will and can be rented to several different occupants at the same time.

The underground car park below the Place de la Musique has reserved spaces for PRMs on each level. The exit from the car park leads directly to the entrance of Les Sheds.
