  • a graphic presentation, using the Dalkia colors;
  • a light, less visual presentation intended in particular for visually impaired persons and persons using a mobile apparatus like a PDA or a cellular phone.

These presentations are accessible:

  • from the Affichage (Display) menu of the browsers supporting the alternative styles;
  • from the "Version allégée" (Light version) or "Version graphique" (Graphic version) link displayed at the top of each page.
