Information for Groups

 

To visit the exhibition you need to make a reservation. Please contact our reservation team at the Vaisseau to plan the dates for your visit.

 

Before your visit, we ask that you:

  • Organise at least 2 supervisors
  • Use the educational supplements to prepare the children for the cocoon and the course

Once your reservation is approved, your visit is led by our exhibit narrating staff in the cocoon and our blind guides in the course.

We ask that you participate as actively as possible to ensure a successful visit.

 

 

DIALOGUE IN THE DARK : GUIDELINES

 

The time of arrival according to your reservation for Dialogue in the Dark is the time at which you will be asked to enter the cocoon.

 

Any delay will result in the visit being cancelled and a non-reimbursement of the money!

  • 20 minutes BEFORE your reservation time

Meet in the entrance hall and put your belongings in the lockers if required.
Take the opportunity to use our facilities, there won’t be a chance later on.

  •  The time of your reservation

The group is invited into the cocoon by one of our exhibit narrators.
Explanation of how the visit will pan out.
Separation of the group into pre-organised smaller groups of 8 (including supervisory adult).

 

  • 10 minutes after your reservation time

The first group with one supervisor is invited into the course after receiving instructions on how to use the blind person’s white stick.
Glasses and all luminous objects must be removed.
During this time, the other groups are invited to take part in workshops in the cocoon.

 

  • 25 minutes after your reservation time

The second group is invited into the course and the remaining groups change workshops.

And so on…

 

  • When the first group leaves the darkness, they enter the discussion workshop area of the cocoon.

They will take part in the 4 workshops in the cocoon as the other groups have.

 

After the groups have finished the workshops in the cocoon, we ask that you either enter the main hall of the Vaisseau to experience the permanent exhibits, or leave the area.

 

We ask that the second supervisory adult joins the last group to enter the course. This is to ensure that we always have a supervisor present in the cocoon.
