By metro and RER
Two metro lines and one RER line serve the neighbourhood (indicative). The nearest station is about five minutes' walk away. On leaving, take avenue du Patrimoine towards the river; the Organization's entrance is on the right-hand pavement.
At peak times, allow extra travel time, especially for connections, so as to arrive on time for your appointment.



By bus, bicycle and on foot
Several bus lines stop less than two hundred metres away (indicative). A bike-sharing station is located in front of the building, and racks allow you to park a personal bicycle.
Walking remains a good way of reaching headquarters from the main museums and market squares of central Paris.
By car and taxi
Parking is limited in the neighbourhood and the Organization has no public car park. A reserved space does, however, allow people with reduced mobility to be dropped off in front of the entrance.
For official delegations, a parking request may be sent in advance to the protocol service, which coordinates with the prefecture.
Accessibility
The entrance is at street level and lifts serve all floors. Accessible toilets are available on the ground floor and a hearing loop system equips the reception and the auditorium.
People who need assistance, a large-print document or a sign language interpreter are asked to say so at least five working days before their visit (indicative).
