You are a visitor with a disability
Booking your visit
- Both you and the person accompanying you are entitled to the reduced rate on presentation of a valid disability card.
- Online booking is strongly recommended. We cannot guarantee entry to Atelier des Lumières if all our time slots are full.
- For a more peaceful experience, please note that visitor numbers can be hard to predict and fluctuate depending on the day, week and time. We recommend coming in the morning or at the end of the day, which are often quieter times (though this cannot be guaranteed). Avoid weekends and public holidays, which are generally busier.
