Accessibility


  • The CERD is accessible to people with reduced mobility. A lift provides access to exhibition level -1, as well as to the first floor where the cafeteria is located. All the exhibition areas are accessible, thanks in particular to gently sloping access paths. Disabled parking is also available in the car park.

    Due to its geographical location, the camp is difficult to access. If you have any special needs, please go to the European Centre reception desk.
