Accessibility for all
We do our best to allow all visitors to access the Montbazon fortress and all of its activities, but also through a policy towards our employees, stakeholders, environmental and social.
However, we are classified as Historical Monuments, and, in this context, are subject to special accessibility constraints.
If you have a motor disability or mobility difficulties, please contact us before your visit. There is a step before the entrance to the site, and the entire area is covered in gravel.
You can find our accessibility register here.
Finally, we are listed on the Acceslibre platform; you will find useful access information just below.
