This site has been designed in compliance with the web standards defined by the W3C, and in particular the directives for web content accessibility laid down by the WAI initiative. As a result, this site is accessible to all Internet users, including senior citizens or disabled people who have functional difficulties.

A site complying with accessibility standards is of benefit to all Internet users.  Among other advantages:

• the content of the site is logical and hierarchically structured
• page display is generally 30 to 80% faster
• the site is independent from the web browser used

Navigation principles

• the Sodexho logo, which allows you to go back to the home page from the internal pages of the site
• priority links at the bottom of the page: accessibility, site plan, legal wordings, contact.
• the breadcrumb trail, which tells you what page you are on and allows you to go rapidly to the higher navigation level
• the main menu, which indicates the main contents and families of contents of this site. A secondary menu (displayed on the left after the breadcrumb trail) indicates the contents of a given family.

“Go to content” type rapid access links, useful in particular to blind people, are also present at the top of the page on all pages of the site.
