Accessibility

On each performance, 6 seats are reserved for reduced mobility audience. Due to the specific configuration of the theater, it is essential to inform the theater of your time arrival when booking by phone.

Without prior information, access to the room cannot be guaranteed.

Access to the theatre:

From the street to the entrance: the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées has a wheelchair ramp located on both sides of the facade.
From the entrance to the foyer: a motorised platform takes wheelchair users to the foyer.
From the foyer to the auditorium: ushers will guide you to your seat in the auditorium.

At each performance, if you do not have hearing aids, 30 headphones are available, and if you do, 15 magnetic induction loops.

The loops are in the form of a necklace, they connect directly to the hearing aids in order to receive a sound adapted to your level of deafness as soon as you put them on the "T" mode.
