PARKING

• The Grottes du Roc de Cazelle have a free car park located just a few steps from the entrance. It is accessible to cars, coaches and motorhomes. On particularly busy days, a second free car park is opened to make parking easier for visitors.
• A parking area for bicycles is also available at the entrance to the site. It is equipped with wheel-holder racks, is freely accessible and is not supervised.

ACCESSIBILITY

• The Grottes du Roc de Cazelle are a natural site developed along the side of a cliff. Due to its layout and in order to preserve its natural and heritage character, an exemption has been granted regarding accessibility requirements. The visitor route is therefore not accessible to wheelchair users. To enable everyone to discover the site, a free 360° immersive virtual reality headset is available for visitors with reduced mobility.
• For families with young children, we recommend using a baby carrier or a lightweight umbrella stroller, which are better suited to the visitor route than a standard stroller.
• A Braille guide is also available at reception for visually impaired and blind visitors.
• The main car park is located approximately 20 metres from the entrance. Reception, the ticket office, the shop and the picnic area are all accessible at ground level.
• To make it easier to welcome visitors with hearing impairments, a hearing loop and a communication board are available at reception.
