Accessibility
The building is fully equipped for people with reduced mobility. The main halls are wheelchair-accessible via the entrance at 39, rue Sainte-Angèle, where there are also two parking spaces for people with reduced mobility who have a parking sticker. For people using the STAC (Paratransit) service, we recommend that you request the smaller buses, as larger vehicles have difficulty entering the Maison's parking lot at 39 rue Ste-Angèle. The building has an elevator and a manual wheelchair available for loan on request for the duration of your visit. La Maison's auditorium has removable seats to accommodate wheelchairs. We recommend that you reserve these seats by contacting reception.
The Maison de la littérature is proud to accept the Carte accompagnement loisir (CAL), which grants free admission to the companion of a disabled person at performances.
The Maison has a number of headsets for the hearing impaired, available free of charge at the reception desk. You can also use your own by dialing frequency 72.
Note: during the summer season, rue Saint-Jean is pedestrianized between rue D'Auteuil and côte du Palais. You can reach rue Sainte-Angèle by taking rue McMahon. For more information, consult the pedestrian street schedule.
