Help & accessibility - Gaz de France

What is accessibility?

An accessible website is one which allows all Internet users to access its content easily, including people with disabilities who use special browsers.

For example, in an accessible website:

• Blind visitors can use specialist tools (speech synthesis and braille touchpads);
• Partially sighted users can adjust the display settings to their needs (larger text, colour and contrast adjustment);
• People who have lost the use of their hands can move around the site without a mouse.

To achieve this, strict standards have to be applied in designing and updating the site.

In keeping with its community and public service values, Gaz de France has made accessibility one of its goals.
