Defibrillators (AED) at the Palace of Versailles

© EPV / Thomas Garnier

The safety of visitors and staff is a priority at the Palace of Versailles. For this reason, automated external defibrillators (AED) have been installed in several areas open to the public. These devices are designed to be used by anyone, including people with no first aid training.

Defibrillators available to everyone 

Defibrillators in public areas, accessible to anyone on site, are located at the following places:

 

First aid reminder

  1. CHECK: see whether the person is breathing or responding by asking simple questions.
  2. CALL: alert the emergency services immediately by dialing 18 (French fire Brigade) or 112.
  3. COMPRESS: start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as early as possible.
  4. DEFIBRILLATE: use a defibrillator as early as possible.
