Accessibility

This is not a help page. It presents the accessibility policy of the elysee.fr website and defines the general level of accessibility on the site in accordance with standards and regulations.

What is digital accessibility?

An accessible website is a site that allows all users to access its content without difficulty, including people with disabilities and using specialized software or hardware.

An accessible site allows for example:

• Browsing using text to speech or a braille display (as used by blind or visually impaired users);
• Customized display of the site according to user needs (larger font, colour changes, etc.);
• Mouseless browsing, with the keyboard only or a touch screen.

Accessibility policy of the elysee.fr website

The Presidency of the Republic attaches particular importance to the quality of its website. It has been engaged for several years in an effort to respect the RGAA (General Accessibility Guidelines for Administrations), the Government Internet Charter (CIE), the General Interoperability Guidelines (RGI), and the Opquast Website guidelines. The Presidency of the Republic also attaches great importance to user experience and ergonomics.

In order to achieve the best possible results, accessibility is taken into account by all those involved in the development of the site, who receive special training. They are also supported by third-party experts, in particular for auditing, decision-making and verification of corrections throughout design and development.

This commitment is reflected in the development of the multi-year digital accessibility scheme and annual action plans, aimed at ensuring compliance with the RGAA and the gradual alignment of the digital content and services concerned with recommendations.
