Accessibility
The festival is continuing its collaboration with the Souffleurs de Sens association, setting up the Souffleurs d’Images initiative. The festival’s mediation team has received training from members of the association so that they can accompany visually impaired spectators on their visit to the Pierres Numériques night tour.
The concept : the mediator whispers in the ear of a blind or partially-sighted spectator as they explore a work of art, describing the elements that they cannot see.
Accessible only for the Pierres Numériques night tour, no reservation required, during tour opening hours. More information at the information station and from the mediation team.
