Definition
The definition of Web accessibility, by Tim Berners-Lee, the director of W3C and inventor of the World Wide Web, is as follows:
« Make the Web and its services available to all individuals, regardless of their hardware or software, network infrastructure, native language, culture, geographic location, or physical or mental abilities. »
Relative font sizes
The site uses relative font sizes to allow you to adjust the character size using your browser's controls. This way, you can set the text size to your liking, although beyond a certain size, some elements may overlap and make reading difficult.
Relative content and sizing
This website aims to be as accessible as possible, but it's not perfect.
Respect of standards: This site complies with W3C standards for web page development. Only the main pages (home, contacts, sitemap, search engine, etc., and a few content pages) have been tested.
The sizes of the blocks making up the page (menus, content, etc.) are expressed in relative units, so their dimensions adapt to the content.
Character sizes are defined with proportional units, i.e. you can change the size of the characters at your convenience using your browser's functions:
- In most browsers: Ctrl + «mouse wheel» works correctly,
- Internet Explorer: Go to the «View» menu, then «Text size» and choose the size that suits you.,
- Mozilla, Firefox, or Netscape: press Ctrl + + to enlarge text and Ctrl + – to decrease it.,
- Opera: Press the + or - keys on the numeric keypad, go to the «View» menu -> «Zoom» and choose the zoom level you prefer.
The use of these keyboard shortcuts depends on your browser and operating system:
For Windows :

- Opera: Esc + Shift, then «Keyboard Shortcuts»
