Points of attention

• The general entrance, at the corner of Rue de la Vallée and Rue Georges Truffaut, is located at a crossroads equipped with non-contrasting anti-parking balls on the ground. The organisers are making every effort to secure the entrance from the shuttle bus depot.
• Solidaris Day attracts a very large crowd. So the environment is noisy.
• Street traffic : there will be a large number of activity stands in Ans town centre, with possible obstacles on the ground. This means that it will be difficult to get around the whole site on your own, given the crowds at recent events. The 2024 edition will have as many stands as possible on one side of the street to make it easier to get around.
