The person with a disability must hold a valid ticket. Their helper is admitted free of charge. There is no need to request an invitation, both individuals enter with the same ticket. In the case of a temporary exit, both individuals must obtain a re-entry stamp.

Parking 

Any disabled person is allowed to park their vehicle in the car park HANDICAP (part of the Parking Jura), near to the main Festival entrance. The car park is on flat ground but not tarmacked. Access is limited to vehicles displaying an official disabled sticker (HANDICAP) or the special permit obtainable upon request before the event from the Festival organisation.

Access to the Festival and On-Site Mobility 

Disabled people enter the Festival via the main entrance (right-hand turnstile, marked ABONNEMENT/HANDICAP). Two connected tarmac roads run across the site from East to West, as far as Grande Scène. 

Transport Service at a preferential rate 

Transport Handicap Vaud is committed to ensuring that people with disabilities have access to culture. To do so, it offers a transport service with vehicles adapted for people with reduced mobility, at a preferential rate (between 20 and 40 francs, return journey, depending on the distance).  

This offer is limited to the county of Vaud and can only be booked at least 24 hours in advance. It does not include the festival ticket, which must be purchased separately.  

Information and bookings

Designated platforms for people with disabilities are set up in front of each stage at the Festival. For those who prefer to watch concerts seated or away from the crowd, seating stands are also available facing the Grande Scène. 

Depending on the concert, we recommend arriving early, as these seats are open to everyone and can fill up quickly.

Accessible toilets equipped with EURO-KEY locks are available on the Festival grounds:

• in front of the PSH platform at the Grande Scène
• in front of the Boutique de la Fontaine, near the Festival entrance
• at the Village du Monde
• to the right of the Véga stage
• at the Quartier Libre

At the Camping, toilets and a shower cabin are available in the sanitary area (in the centre of the campsite). 

Located on the path leading to the Terrasse, opposite the PSH platform at the Grande Scène, L’Entracte is a dedicated space for people with disabilities and their companions who wish to rest, enjoy a meal or drink away from the hustle and bustle, have a moment of privacy, or receive care in a calm and comfortable environment. To ensure the best possible experience at Paléo, specific equipment and professional support are available on-site.

The areas reserved for people with disabilities (welcome points, sanitary facilities, parking zones, and viewing platforms) are marked on the festival map below. 

These locations are also visible on the map in our app, available in July.
