Fest Jazz, an inclusive event
Fest Jazz is fully committed to accessibility and inclusion for all
We implement specific measures to enable people with disabilities — holders of a Mobility Inclusion Card (CMI), a Disability Card (CIG) or a War Disabled Card (GIG) — to enjoy the festival to the fullest, in the best conditions of comfort and safety.
General principles
The festival is accessible to all people with disabilities.
We ensure :
- adapted access conditions (entrances, movement, car parks, toilets)
- clear signposting and reserved areas
- the presence of volunteers trained in welcoming and assisting people with severely reduced mobility. A “Plan of the festival” specifically for people with disabilities will be available this year (in French and English).
Ticketing
No ticket reductions are available for people with disabilities.
However, people who use a wheelchair, or have other severe disabilities, can have a free ticket for the person who accompanies them at all times. Only CMI ‘Disability’ cards marked ‘Need for assistance’ entitle the holder to a free “companion” ticket. « Besoin d’accompagnement » If that's the case, please contact us at : with the following information :
- your full contact details
- the day(s) of your visit
- a copy of both sides of the valid CMI, CIG or GIG card, as well as details of specific needs, must be provided at the time of booking.

Parking (PMR – Persons with reduced mobility)
Because of the very limited space on the site and the increased number of festival goers (many with young children), it is imperative for safety reasons that we limit the number of vehicles in the festival.
This year, there will be a limit of 25 places for PMR parking before the Ticket Barrier. To reserve a place you must inform us (contact@fest-jazz.com ) when you buy your ticket and send us a photocopy of both sides of your PMR card. Only people using wheelchairs or who have other severe disabilities , with “need for assistance” marked on their card, will be able to take their vehicle past the ticket barrier.
Special cases
This year there will be increased seating for people with reduced mobility. They must be ready to show their disability card if necessary.
Please inform us (contact@fest-jazz.com) before the festival if you have a very severe disability (mobility or visual) and send us a copy of your official “Need for assistance” card, and we will do the maximum to help .
Thank you and enjoy Fest Jazz !
