Deaf and hearing-impaired visitors

Most of the exhibits to see and visit in the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes are visual.

Please note: the Ménagerie does not have an induction loop amplifier.

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.

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.

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

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

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