II.ARTICLE 5 – SECURITY SCREENING
Depending on the circumstances and in response to requests from public authorities, the Management of Parc SPIROU Provence® reserves the right to organize checks of visitors' bags and personal belongings to maintain the highest level of safety.
These checks are carried out at the Park entrance before the ticket booths; for your safety and that of others, please cooperate with these procedures.
Please note that it is forbidden to bring the following into the Parks:
- Illicit or dangerous substances, alcoholic beverages, glass bottles, dangerous objects (including all offensive or defensive weapons of any category), and any toy or item resembling a firearm (e.g., laser pistols, water guns, etc.) that could endanger guest safety.

- Any item that Parc SPIROU Provence® deems inappropriate or disruptive.
Staff members in charge of security checks are authorized to seize or hold the items in question.
II.ARTICLE 6 – BULKY ITEMS
Bulky or cumbersome items, including luggage and suitcases (inclusive of pockets, wheels, and handles), are not permitted inside the Park. We recommend visiting without these items. Except for designated lockers or specific areas, Parc SPIROU Provence® employees are not authorized to look after your belongings.
Strollers are more than welcome!
However, for safety reasons, access to certain attractions may be refused even if items comply with these rules. For example, while strollers are allowed, they must always be left outside the attractions.
II.ARTICLE 7 – GUEST ATTIRE AND BEHAVIOR
Guests are asked to maintain appropriate attire throughout their stay; notably, they must refrain from walking barefoot or shirtless and, generally, from any clothing or behavior that offends public decency or morals.
We also reserve the right, at our discretion and at any time, to refuse entry or escort out any person wearing clothing, makeup, or tattoos that could offend our younger guests or families. Parc SPIROU Provence® considers such items inappropriate if they might encourage interaction with other guests or cause confusion by imitating costumed characters. Accessories that could impact safety on our attractions (capes, sticks, scarves, hats, etc.) are prohibited.
For safety reasons, wearing an outfit that completely covers the face is prohibited, except for medical reasons. Costumes and masks are prohibited for guests aged 12 and over. When worn by children under this age, masks must allow clear peripheral vision and keep the eyes fully visible.
Park entry may be refused for failure to comply with these dress code requirements.
During special private events, specific rules may apply. Please check the information dedicated to these events.
Furthermore, guests agree not to disturb the peace of others with hostile, excessive, or ostentatious behavior. Park staff will oversee this, potentially at the request of guests.
