There is no visitor car park at the Jardin des Plantes (Garden of Plants).

No audio devices in the Jardin des Plantes and the Grandes Serres.

Please note: the Grandes serres do not have an induction loop amplifier.

The majority of the exhibits to see and visit in the Grande Galerie de l’Évolution are visual. Nevertheless, some exhibits come with an audio recording but there are no French Sign Language or text subtitles.

Most of the multimedia interactive exhibits do not have sound, just a visual interface.

Please note:

• the Grande Galerie de l’Évolution is relatively noisy during busy periods, which can be problematic for visitors with hearing aids.
• the Grande Galerie de l’Évolution does not have an induction loop amplifier since the building’s metal structure prevents it from working properly.
• the Grande Galerie is a very dimly-lit space, which means it is not very easy to lip-read.

All exhibits (videos, multimedia) incorporating spoken language have French Sign Language and text subtitles in the Galerie des Enfants.

Please note:

• the film on night-time in the city plays on a continuous loop in three versions (relatively short) and only one of the three versions has French and French Sign Language subtitles.
• exhibits accessible in French Sign Language and with text subtitles: choose the button with the “hands” symbol.
• the Galerie des Enfants is relatively noisy during busy periods, which can be problematic for visitors with hearing aids.
• the Galerie des Enfants does not have an induction loop amplifier since the building’s metal structure prevents it from working properly.

The virtual activities on offer do not come with text subtitles and are not dubbed into Sign Language in the Cabinet de Réalité virtuelle.

The majority of the exhibits to see and visit in the Galerie de Paléontologie et d’Anatomie comparée and in the Galerie de Minéralogie are visual.

Please note:

• The Galerie de Paléontologie et d’Anatomie comparée is relatively noisy during busy periods, which can be problematic for visitors with hearing aids.
• The Galerie de Paléontologie et d’Anatomie comparée does not have an induction loop amplifier
• some areas within the exhibition space are dimly-lit, which means it is not very easy to lip-read.
