Can we eat at the fair?

Yes. There are cafeterias on the mezzanines between levels 0 and 1, reached by elevator or the stairs with the yellow handrail. They don't take Chèques Lire.

Is there a coat check?

Yes, on the same mezzanine as the cafeterias. It costs €2 per item, with a limit of two items.

Does it work for a child with a disability?

Use the dedicated entrance at Porte C on rue Marcel Dufriche. It has wheelchairs to borrow, sensory kits, easy-to-read guides and an induction loop, and elevators serve every level. Some readings are in French Sign Language.

Can families go on Monday?

Yes. Monday is the professional day, but it stays open to everyone from 9am to 6pm.
