Parking for parents

  • Is your baby being admitted for an extended period? And will you visit the hospital several times during a certain period? Then take advantage of a weekly subscription.

  • As a parent of a premature child born before the age of 34 weeks or a child with other conditions requiring long admission, you can park for free throughout the admission.

  • Ask for an attestation for this and have it validated at the cash desk.
