OUR HEALTH PROTOCOL:

In 2020, there were no cases of transmission of COVID-19 at the Gouffre de Padirac. Once again this year, a strict and reinforced protocol has been put in place to guarantee the safety of visitors and teams alike. This includes:

  • An exclusively online ticketing service.
    This process will help to manage visitor flows and limit queues on site.
  • Reduction of the capacity according to the sanitary standards in force
  • Wearing a mask is compulsory from the age of 6
    A mask is compulsory from the moment visitors arrive at the Gouffre de Padirac site. This includes the tour circuit and the outdoor facilities.
  • One way to visit
    In order to minimise the number of visitors passing each other, the descent is by staircase only (except for people with reduced mobility, suffering from vertigo, or other special cases).
  • Hydroalcoholic gel dispensers
    Distributed throughout the site and the tour route, 16 hydroalcoholic gel dispensers will be available to visitors.
  • Special COVID signage
    Ground markings and signs will guide visitors along their route and remind them of the instructions to be followed.
  • A strict disinfection protocol
    The lifts are equipped with UV disinfection lamps and audio guides are systematically disinfected after each use. Throughout the day, the premises will be regularly disinfected (railings, dispensers, doors, buttons, etc).
