Le Parc de Mariemont
Walking
Mariemont Estate is only partially accessible to people with reduced mobility due to its very uneven terrain. There are parking spaces in the street perpendicular to the tree-lined avenue at the entrance to the park. The museum has a lift.
Mariemont estate is classified as a bird sanctuary. For this reason dogs, even on leads, are not permitted.
Mariemont has Exceptional Heritage classification. Cars and bikes are therefore not permitted on the estate (with the exception of service vehicles).
Access
The museum is fully wheelchair and pushchair accessible.
There is a lift and accessible toilets. Seats are available. There is disabled parking close to the museum. To access these spaces, make yourself known by using the intercom at the retractable bollards at the entrance to Mariemont estate.
The museum has Access-i certification.
