INCONTOURNABLE | VISITES GUIDÉES DE L'ASCENSEUR À BATEAUX

Unlock the secrets of the Fontinettes Boat Lift, a jewel of industrial architecture. Step back in time to discover the history of this monument, the only one of its kind in France.
This landmark of the Arches landscape is once again opening its doors to the public for "special re-opening" guided tours every day from 1 August to 17 September, at a special rate for all.
Bookings required and tickets available online.

For the first fortnight, the visiting conditions remain the same as in August: guided tour every day at 3pm and free visit between 2pm and 6pm on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The preferential rate remains in force until 15 September (€5.90/€4.90 for a guided tour and €4.50/€3.50 for a self-guided tour with audio guidance on the telephone).

From 15 September, we will be switching to the "normal" rate (€9/€8 for a guided tour and €5.90/€4.90 for a self-guided tour with audio guide).
Guided tours will be offered once a day (Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) at 3pm, with the option of a self-guided tour between 2pm and 6pm (last admission at 5pm).

For the JEP, exceptional all-day opening from 10am to 1pm and from 2pm to 6pm. This weekend, there will be a guided tour at 11am and a dramatised tour at 3.30pm, plus family game workshops all day long in the multi-purpose hall.
