Article R4214-26 of the French Labour Code

Workplaces, including ancillary premises, in a new building or in the new part of an existing building are accessible to disabled people, regardless of their disability.

Workplaces are considered accessible to people with disabilities when they can access, move around, evacuate, find their way around and communicate with the greatest possible independence.

Workplaces are designed in such a way as to enable workstations to be adapted for disabled people or to make it possible to adapt workstations at a later date.

Article R4214-26
Les lieux de travail, y compris les locaux annexes, aménagés dans un bâtiment neuf ou dans la partie neuve d’un bâtiment existant sont accessibles aux personnes handicapées, quel que soit leur type de handicap.

Les lieux de travail sont considérés comme accessibles aux personnes handicapées lorsque celles-ci peuvent accéder à ces lieux, y circuler, les évacuer, se repérer, communiquer, avec la plus grande autonomie possible.

Les lieux de travail sont conçus de manière à permettre l’adaptation des postes de travail aux personnes handicapées ou à rendre ultérieurement possible l’adaptation des postes de travail.
