As we wish to be accessible to all audiences, L’Envol des Pionniers provides various access solutions to those with disabilities.

All reception staff are made aware of reception requirements for those with disabilities.

Information About Re-Opening:

From Thursday 21 May 2020, L’Envol des Pionniers will be pleased to welcome you again and invites you aboard for an exotic journey on which you will meet the Pioneers of aviation in Toulouse.

Reception facilities in line with health standards have been set up to guarantee the safety of visitors and our teams. Further information on health measures for the re-opening of L’Envol des Pionniers here

The whole site is accessible to the public.

Accessibility:

Signage has been made more obvious across the whole site to indicate the direction of a visit.

You can still borrow a wheelchair or folding chair for free at reception, on presentation of a form of identification. They are disinfected after every use.

Braille models and features are regularly disinfected. It is recommended that you disinfect your hands with hydroalcoholic gel before and after handling them. You will find hydroalcoholic gel in every exhibition room.
