In short
Apply the exception only to the cases it names. This notice accepts small objects without a booking during opening hours, but requires a booked slot for listed furniture. An unclassified item needs clarification. Missing information is different from permission or prohibition.
Dépôt de dons
Règle générale
Les petits objets peuvent être déposés sans réservation pendant les heures d’ouverture : du mardi au samedi, de 10 h à 17 h. Les livres transportés dans un sac sont considérés comme de petits objets.
Exception : meubles
Pour les tables, les chaises et les étagères, un créneau doit être réservé avant le dépôt. Cette obligation s’applique même si le meuble peut être porté par une seule personne.
Sort by which part of the notice governs the case, not simply by whether the person may enter. A case can belong to the general rule and still fail its opening-hours condition. The explanation under each result identifies that distinction.
Tap a word, then the box it belongs in.
An exception can depend on category, not weight
A chair remains in the furniture exception even if one person can carry it. The notice states this explicitly. Replacing that written category with your own rule about weight would change the instruction. Equally, a booked furniture slot does not establish an acceptance policy for broken electrical goods.
Même si je peux porter la chaise seul, je dois réserver un créneau.
Even if I can carry the chair alone, I must book a slot.
Ask for the missing classification
For the mirror or electrical object, the notice does not supply enough information. A focused question could be Acceptez-vous les miroirs de grande taille ? or Y a-t-il des conditions pour les appareils électriques ? Do not turn the absence of a warning into an unlimited acceptance promise.
