Best forCharles de Gaulle (CDG) to central Paris, then metro Line 12 to Porte de Versailles
Fastest rail option from CDG. Trains run into Gare du Nord and Denfert-Rochereau; change onto Line 12 for the fairground. Allow 60-75 minutes door to door with luggage.
metro
Estimated costApprox. EUR 2.50 per single t+ ticket; a Navigo Easy card or a one-day pass is cheaper across several journeys
Best forMetro Line 12 from central Paris (Concorde, Madeleine, Montparnasse area) to Porte de Versailles
Line 12 terminates at Mairie d'Issy and stops directly at Porte de Versailles, so the exhibition entrance is a short walk from the platform. Confirm current line status on RATP before each show day.
tram
Estimated costApprox. EUR 2.50 per single t+ ticket, the same fare as metro; confirm the current tariff on ratp.fr
Best forTram T2 or T3a to Porte de Versailles
T2 runs from the western suburbs and La Defense, T3a along the southern boulevards. Useful if your hotel sits outside the Line 12 corridor.
taxi
Estimated costApprox. EUR 56-70 for the regulated CDG to Left Bank taxi forfait; confirm the current official tariff before travel
Best forParis Charles de Gaulle (CDG) to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
Fixed-fare forfaits apply from the official taxi ranks at CDG; ride-hail pricing is dynamic and often higher at peak arrival times. Journey 35-60 minutes depending on traffic.
taxi
Estimated costApprox. EUR 36-45 for the regulated ORY to Left Bank taxi forfait; confirm the current official tariff
Best forParis Orly (ORY) to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
Orly is the closer airport to the 15th arrondissement, with a 25-40 minute road transfer outside rush hour.
coach
Estimated costApprox. EUR 17-20 for the Beauvais airport coach, plus a metro ticket of about EUR 2.50
Best forParis Beauvais (BVA) to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
The coach runs to Porte Maillot in about 75 minutes; from there metro Line 1 to Concorde and Line 12 to Porte de Versailles completes the trip.
ride-hail
Estimated costApprox. EUR 15-25 outside surge, higher at exhibition closing times; confirm the in-app estimate before booking
Best forCentral Paris hotel to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
Convenient for evening events or heavy equipment, but slower than Line 12 during the 08:00-09:30 window.
parking
Estimated costApprox. EUR 20-30 per day for exhibition parking; confirm the current day rate with the venue operator
Best forOn-site parking at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
Multi-storey car parks sit around the fairground. Pre-book where possible on show days and allow extra time at the entrance barriers.
Weather
Early December in Paris is early winter: expect overcast skies, daytime highs typically around 7-9 °C and night temperatures near 2-4 °C, with rain on roughly half the days of the month and total monthly rainfall in the region of 45-60 mm. Daylight fades before 17:00, so the walk back from the halls after closing is dark. Wind off the Seine makes the Porte de Versailles esplanade feel colder than the reading suggests. Pack a waterproof outer layer, warm mid-layers and shoes suitable for a large outdoor-to-indoor site. These are climatological ranges, not a forecast: check Meteo-France within 48 hours of travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
France uses EU-standard mobile coverage and EU roaming rules, so visitors with an EU SIM keep their home allowance. Non-EU travellers can buy a French prepaid SIM or an eSIM from the main national operators and virtual providers, usually with ID verification at activation. Free Wi-Fi is common in hotels and cafes and is often offered in exhibition halls, but signal quality drops in packed halls when badge-scanning apps and video demos compete for bandwidth. For lead capture and live product demos, carry a local data plan or a pocket hotspot rather than relying on venue Wi-Fi, and test the connection in your hall during build-up. Power sockets are type E with 230 V supply, so bring an adapter for non-European plugs.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language in the halls
French dominates: exhibitors, signage and conference sessions are largely in French. Open with a greeting and ask whether an English-speaking colleague is available; most export-minded EdTech suppliers keep one on the stand.
Greetings and politeness
Say bonjour when entering a stand or a shop and merci on leaving; skipping the greeting reads as abrupt. Handshakes are standard in business settings, and first-name informality usually follows the other person's lead.
Business rhythm and lunch
Meetings run efficiently in the morning, and the 12:00-14:00 window is protected for lunch, so do not assume a supplier will demo at 12:30. Book critical appointments for 09:30-11:30 or 14:30-17:00.
December in Paris
The show dates fall in the Christmas season: department stores on Boulevard Haussmann run late openings, and the Champs-Elysees and Tuileries have illuminated markets. Expect heavier evening crowds on public transport and book restaurant tables for larger groups.
Transport disruption
Strike action and line closures do occur in Paris. Check RATP service notices each morning of the show and keep a taxi or ride-hail fallback for time-critical appointments.
Tipping and payments
Service is included in French restaurant bills; rounding up or leaving small change is normal, and 5-10 percent is generous. Cards are widely accepted, but keep some coins for small purchases and for cloakroom tips.
Accessibility and assistance
The 15th arrondissement fairground has step-free access from metro and tram and lift-served halls. If you use a wheelchair or need a quiet space, contact the organiser and VIPARIS in advance to confirm the route from the Porte de Versailles stop to your hall.

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: CDG
Fare captures for the 2-4 December 2026 dates flagged New York-Paris and Singapore-Paris as typical for the season, Dubai-Paris as currently low, and advised booking roughly 3-6 months ahead from JFK and 2-5 months from SIN. Quoted fares were round-trip economy for one adult, departing 2 December and returning 6 December, excluding checked bags and seat selection. Nonstop options exist from New York (American, Delta, United, Air France and Virgin Atlantic partners) with 7-8 hour flight times; Asia and Gulf routes typically connect through Istanbul, Doha or Dubai with 9-19 hours of total travel. Traffic advisories appeared on the Dubai and Singapore searches, so recheck schedules closer to departure and compare Orly arrivals if CDG pricing spikes. Book the 1 December arrival if you need to be on the floor at opening.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG): 35-60 min by road depending on traffic; Paris Orly (ORY): 25-40 min by road depending on traffic; Paris Beauvais (BVA): 75-90 min by road or coach plus metro. Allow road or rail time to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Paris Expo Porte de Versailles: Porte de Versailles / 15th arrondissement: Hotel Mercure Paris 15 Porte de Versailles; Porte de Versailles / 15th arrondissement: Hotel Mercure Paris Porte de Versailles Expo; Porte de Versailles / 15th arrondissement: OKKO Hotels Paris Porte De Versailles.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing is well established in Paris and works well for evening appointments and hotel-to-venue trips outside the metro corridor. Uber, Bolt and Free Now all operate in the city; hail the car from a marked pickup point rather than mid-carriageway, since the Porte de Versailles esplanade gets congested at closing time. Expect approx. EUR 15-25 for a trip from central Paris outside surge pricing, and noticeably more during rain or after the halls empty. Fixed-fare taxis from the official airport ranks can be cheaper than ride-hail on arrival, and both are slower than metro Line 12 during the 08:00-09:30 window. Confirm the fare in the app before booking.
Public transit: Metro Line 12 stops at Porte de Versailles, directly serving the fairground, and is the simplest way in from Concorde, Madeleine, Saint-Lazare and Montparnasse. Trams T2 (from La Defense and the western suburbs) and T3a (along the southern boulevards) also call at Porte de Versailles. Single metro or tram tickets are approx. EUR 2.50, and a Navigo Easy card or a one-day pass lowers the cost if you make several trips. From Charles de Gaulle, RER B connects with the metro in central Paris; from Orly, the automatic metro links to the network. Allow 15-25 minutes from central Paris plus a walk to your hall. Check RATP service notices each morning for planned closures or strike action, and keep the metro as your default because road traffic on the boulevard peripherique is unpredictable at show closing time.
Parking: Paris Expo Porte de Versailles has multi-storey car parks around the site, and exhibition-day parking is typically approx. EUR 20-30 per day; confirm the current rate, height limit and hall access with the venue operator before driving in. Pre-book on show days where the operator allows it, arrive before 08:30 to secure a space, and note that the surrounding 15th arrondissement has paid on-street parking with time limits enforced. For a stand team carrying equipment, a car is practical for the build-up day but slower than metro Line 12 during the show itself. Electric vehicle charging availability in the venue car parks should be confirmed directly with the operator.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: December 2026 (early winter)
Temperature: Daytime typically 7-9 °C, nights around 2-4 °C; occasional colder snaps near freezing and the fairground esplanade feels colder in wind
Seasonality: December is one of the wetter Paris months, with roughly 45-60 mm spread over about half the days, often as light drizzle rather than long downpours. Skies are mostly overcast and daylight ends before 17:00, so both show mornings and evening walks happen in low light.
Packing: Pack a waterproof coat or a shell with a warm mid-layer, a compact umbrella, closed shoes with grip for a large exhibition site, and a scarf and gloves for the evening. Bring one smart-casual outfit for a stand reception or dinner, and a small day bag that fits a laptop and printed catalogues. Hotel rooms are heated, so thin layers work better than one heavy sweater. A power adapter for French type E sockets and a spare battery for badge-scanning on the floor are worth the space.
Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at EducaTec-EducaTice usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
T-1
Fourteen days out: confirm your registration status and badge on educatec-educatice.com, and check whether your visitor category needs proof of professional status or an invitation from an exhibitor.
T-2
Fourteen days out: lock the hotel in the Porte de Versailles / 15th arrondissement cluster, or accept a central Paris base on metro Line 12 and add 15-25 minutes of daily travel.
T-3
Twelve days out: book the airport-to-city leg. Fixed-fare taxi forfaits and the RER B airport ticket are the two realistic CDG options; the Orly metro and the Beauvais coach serve the other two airports.
T-4
Twelve days out: build a shortlist of ten exhibitors from the categories you actually need (interactive panels, LMS/ENT platforms, digital textbooks, robotics kits, assessment tools) and request appointments rather than relying on walk-ups.
T-5
Ten days out: check the session programme and note the talks that clash with your booth appointments; two days on the floor is tight if you also attend conference slots.
T-6
Ten days out: print or download the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles hall plan and mark the entrances nearest your priority stands, since the site spans several halls.
T-7
Seven days out: check RATP service notices and any planned transport disruption for metro Line 12 and trams T2/T3a across 2-4 December.
T-8
Seven days out: confirm French mobile data or an eSIM and test your roaming plan; most badge scans and lead-capture apps at education shows run on mobile data rather than venue Wi-Fi.
T-9
Five days out: pack for early-winter Paris - layers, waterproof coat, comfortable shoes for a large exhibition site, and a compact umbrella.
T-10
Five days out: download the French version of your product literature and bring bilingual business cards if your school audience is French-speaking.
T-11
Three days out: reconfirm any meeting times with exhibitors and note their hall and stand numbers in one place on your phone.
T-12
Two days out: check your airline's baggage rules for any sample devices or printed material you are carrying, and keep invoices for equipment you bring in.
T-13
Day before: arrive in Paris in the afternoon or evening of 1 December, collect a metro ticket or Navigo Easy card, and walk the route to the venue once so the opening morning is calm.
T-14
Show days: start at the hall with your highest-priority suppliers, keep 30-minute buffers between appointments, and finish each day by writing up leads while the conversations are fresh.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
What is Educatec-Educatice and who is it for?
Educatec-Educatice is the Paris meeting point for education technology and classroom ICT. It is aimed at teachers, school heads and deputy heads, ICT and digital-resource coordinators, teacher trainers, academic librarians and the suppliers who equip them. The 2026 edition is scheduled for 2-4 December 2026 in Paris. Confirm the hall, opening hours and registration route on educatec-educatice.com before you plan travel.
Where is Educatec-Educatice held and how do I get there?
The event is listed at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in the 15th arrondissement. The fairground has its own stop on metro Line 12 (Porte de Versailles) and is also served by trams T2 and T3a. From Charles de Gaulle airport take RER B into the city and change onto metro Line 12; from Orly take the automatic metro or the Orlybus and connect. Allow 45-60 minutes by road from CDG and 25-40 minutes from ORY outside peak hours.
Do I need a trade badge or can any visitor register?
Registration is handled by the organiser rather than at the door as a general-public event. Check educatec-educatice.com for the current badge process, whether proof of your professional status is requested, and whether any fee applies to your visitor category. Bring a printed or digital copy of your confirmation and a photo ID to the entrance.
Which product families will I find on the show floor?
Expect classroom hardware (interactive panels, projectors, tablets, robotics and STEM kits), learning platforms and school digital workspaces, assessment and certification tools, digital textbooks and content licences, teacher-training and coaching services, accessibility and assistive technology, and IT services for schools and local authorities.
What language is used at the show?
The working language is French, since the audience is largely made up of French teachers, schools and academies. Many exhibitors keep English-speaking staff for international partners, but sessions and printed material are predominantly in French. If you travel from abroad, request an English-speaking contact from your target exhibitors before the show.
How many days should a visitor plan?
A single day covers a focused product category well; two days are more realistic if you want to sit in on conference sessions and still walk the floor. Because the show runs 2-4 December 2026, arriving the evening of 1 December lets you start on the opening morning rather than losing time to airport transfers.
Where should I stay for Educatec-Educatice?
Hotels in the Porte de Versailles cluster in the 15th arrondissement are within 5-15 minutes on foot, including several four-star properties and apartment-style options for longer stays. Central Paris (Montparnasse, Invalides, Saint-Germain) is 15-25 minutes away by metro Line 12 and gives more evening options. Book early: early December is a busy period in Paris.
What is the weather like in Paris in early December?
Early December in Paris is cold and often overcast, with daytime highs typically around 7-9 °C, night temperatures close to 2-4 °C, and rain on roughly half the days of the month. Daylight ends before 17:00. Pack layers, a waterproof outer layer and shoes you can walk in across a large exhibition site.
Can I attend with a group of colleagues from my school or institution?
Group visits are common at French education events, but the group registration route, the number of badges per institution and any invitation letter for travel are organiser decisions. Ask the organiser in advance and keep one named contact for the whole group so badge collection is straightforward.
Is Paris Expo Porte de Versailles accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?
The venue is served by step-free metro and tram access at Porte de Versailles and its halls have level entrances and lift access, but you should confirm the specific hall, accessible parking bays and wheelchair loan or assistance points with the organiser and with VIPARIS, the venue operator, before travelling.
How far ahead should I book flights and hotels?
Flight data captured for the 2-4 December 2026 dates advised booking roughly 3-6 months ahead from New York and 2-5 months ahead from Singapore. For hotels, early autumn is a sensible target, because the Porte de Versailles cluster fills with trade-fair demand and rates rise as the dates approach.
Will there be conference sessions or only an exhibition?
Educatec-Educatice is a trade event with a programme alongside the exhibition, so plan to combine booth time with sessions. The published agenda, session titles and any registration requirements for individual talks are confirmed by the organiser on educatec-educatice.com closer to the dates.
Glossary
- EdTech
- Education technology: hardware, software and services built for teaching and learning, from classroom display kit to learning platforms and assessment tools. Educatec-Educatice is the Paris venue where these products meet teachers and school decision makers.
- ENT (Espace Numerique de Travail)
- The French digital workspace assigned to a school or academy: a portal bundling email, timetable, resources, grades and communication between teachers, pupils and families. Vendors of ENT platforms and of content that plugs into them are a core exhibitor group at French education trade events.
- LMS (learning management system)
- Software that hosts courses, distributes materials and tracks learner progress, typically accessed through a browser or app. Buyers compare LMS options on integration with the school ENT, data protection and teacher usability.
- Interactive whiteboard / TBI (tableau blanc interactif)
- A display surface connected to a computer or running its own software, letting a teacher annotate and share lesson content. In France this category now spans classic IWBs, interactive projectors and large touch panels.
- PIX
- The French national framework and certification for digital skills, used by schools to assess and certify pupil and staff competence. Platforms that prepare learners for PIX certification are a recognisable EdTech product line in France.
- BYOD (bring your own device)
- A school policy letting pupils use their own laptops or tablets in class, with device management and network access agreed by the institution. It shapes demand for cross-platform content and for classroom management software.
- Hybrid classroom
- A teaching setup that serves in-room and remote learners at the same time, usually with a camera, microphone array and shared digital whiteboard. It is the practical answer to partial school closures and distance teaching.
- Serious game / jeu serieux

- Manual numerique / digital textbook
- A licensed digital edition of a school textbook, often delivered through a platform licence rather than per-pupil purchase. Licensing models and publisher interoperability are recurring discussion points with school librarians and regional authorities.
- RGAA / WCAG accessibility
- Accessibility standards that define whether a digital resource can be used by learners with visual, hearing or motor impairments. Publicly funded French education platforms are expected to meet RGAA requirements derived from WCAG.
- Formation continue (in-service teacher training)
- Continuing professional development for practising teachers, delivered by academies, networks and private providers. It is a major buyer segment for training content, certification and coaching services at French education events.
