The theater is a few meters from the Célestins car park elevator. Wheelchair users are provided with an access ramp that leads to the side entrance at 4 rue Charles Dullin which is reserved for those with reduced mobility. It leads to another elevator that offers access to the ticket office during the day, and in the evening on show days it offers access to the orchestra pit and stalls. It also leads to the Célestines and the Etourdi bar.
The main auditorium and the Célestines are accessible to wheelchair users whether they are alone or part of a group. It is sometimes possible to provide a specific area for all the group members, but this should be requested when reserving because the area may need to be adapted. This service is subject to availability.
Adapted washrooms and toilets are available in the entrance hall atrium on the stage left side, near the stair access to the Célestine.

If you need hearing support and/or have a hearing aid, 30 adapted headsets are available for all shows free of charge at the reception area and for both the main theater and the Célestine.
