Accessibility

  • To facilitate access to the festival for people with disabilities or reduced mobility, WE LOVE GREEN has proposed the following in 2023:
    • A reduced rate for people receiving the “disabled adult” allowance (AAH)
    • A parking lot reserved for people with reduced mobility, subject to availability.`
    • An entrance dedicated to people with disabilities (PSH) and people with reduced mobility (PMR), where volunteers are on hand to welcome them, inform them and take them to the heart of the festival.
    • An electric cart that drives between the PRM/PMH parking lot and the festival entrance to make it easier for disabled festival-goers to get to the festival.
    • A team of volunteers to welcome and accompany people with disabilities (PRM & PSH), supervised by Inclusiv’Events and AMAAC, two associations specializing in the accessibility of cultural and artistic events.
    • The Handi-Accueil, a dedicated point for information on bars, platforms, PRM dry toilets and other facilities.
    • Disabled-friendly counters at all bars
    • Specific signage for the disabled
    • Dry toilets accessible to the disabled (10 cabins)

Assistance dogs are also allowed on the festival site.

In terms of services, the festival offers :

    • A guide written in French that is easy to read and understand (FALC), listing practical information about the festival, as well as access and facilities for people with disabilities – available HERE.
    • PRM platforms installed in front of the main stages (Prairie, Clairière and Canopée) to facilitate access to concerts for people with disabilities. They are accessible by means of a wristband, which can be collected from the Handi-Accueil on presentation of proof of identity.
    • CAU-Mobility, a universal accessibility pathway in flexible material to facilitate movement in certain areas of the festival.
    • A magnetic loop installed on the festival’s main stage, enabling hearing-impaired people equipped with a hearing aid to enjoy the concerts in the best possible listening conditions.
    • Vibration vests to feel the vibrations of the music, available at Handi-Accueil
    • With the support of Malakoff Humanis

HEARING RISK PREVENTION

Simple gestures to preserve your hearing and enjoy the festival :

  • Don’t stand in front of the speakers
  • Take breaks in quiet areas
  • Remember to take reusable earplugs
  • Adapt your equipment to your needs: foam earplugs, reusable earplugs or custom earplugs with acoustic filters.
  • Parents with children, triple the precautions: headphones, breaks and distance from speakers
  • Pregnant people, avoid exposure to high noise levels
  • Reusable earplugs and headphones for children will be on sale at the Information Point.

ABOUT WE LOVE GREEN:

Even if we limit the decibels, think of your ears. If you want to use reusable hearing protection specially designed for listening to music at concerts and festivals, our partner BLOX has just what you need. Its BLOX Music model features an acoustic filter specially designed to let you enjoy authentic sound while protecting your hearing. It will be available for sale at festival merchandising. For the more discerning among you, take advantage of a 15% discount on the BLOX e-shop thanks to the promotional code “ENJOYWLG23”. Valid on the entire range from April 22 to May 24, 2023. Visit www.bloxearplugs.com.

Foam earplugs will also be available free of charge at the festival. We’re counting on you to throw them in the garbage can and not on the ground. New this year: BLOX will be setting up a collection point at the info point for used foam ear plugs, so that they can be recycled and turned into components for street furniture (benches, tables, etc.).

Our kids’ ears will also be pampered! BLOX will be offering children’s helmets for sale.
