Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
RER B + metro line 12
Take RER B towards Paris, change at Denfert-Rochereau or Chatelet to metro line 12 towards Mairie d'Issy and alight at Porte de Versailles. Allow 55-70 min with luggage.
Orlyval / tram + metro
Orlyval to Antony then RER B and metro line 12, or tram line 7 to Villejuif then metro. Allow 45-60 min. The venue is only about 17 km from Orly by road.
taxi
Use the official taxi rank, not unlicensed drivers; the flat fare covers Paris rive gauche destinations including the 15th arrondissement. Journey 45-60 min depending on traffic.
taxi
Shortest airport transfer to the venue at roughly 25-40 min by road; the flat fare applies from the official Orly rank.
metro
Metro line 12 stops directly at Porte de Versailles, which is the simplest route from Gare Montparnasse, Concorde or central hotels along the line.
tram
Tram T2 links La Defense and Issy to Porte de Versailles, and T3a runs along the southern boulevards. Both stop next to the exhibition entrance.
bus
Routes including the 39, 42 and 80 serve the Porte de Versailles area; slower than metro in traffic but useful from hotels without a direct line 12 connection.
taxi
45-60 min by road, longer in weekday rush hour; Main long-haul and European gateway; RER B to Denfert-Rochereau or Chatelet plus metro line 12 reaches Porte de Versailles in roughly 55-70 min with luggage. Approx. Paris taxi flat fare applies from the official rank.
Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Weather
Late February and early March in Paris are cold and changeable: expect daytime highs around 7-10 C, overnight lows around 2-4 C, grey skies and passing showers. Halls are large and the walk from Porte de Versailles metro to the entrance is open air, so bring a warm coat, a compact umbrella and shoes that cope with wet pavements. Livestock halls are heated but machinery halls and loading areas can be draughty during build-up.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
EU SIM cards roam at domestic rates across France, so visitors from other EU countries can use their existing data plan. Non-EU visitors can buy a French prepaid SIM or eSIM from the main operators at CDG, Orly or city shops with passport ID. Free Wi-Fi is commonly offered in hotels and some venue areas, but coverage inside the crowded halls is unreliable at peak times; download the programme, floor plan and tickets before entering.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Open in French, then switch
French farm suppliers and cooperatives expect a greeting before business: say bonjour as you reach a stand, shake hands, and give your name and farm or company. English is common on export-oriented machinery and genetics stands but rare on small terroir and cooperative stands, so a French-speaking colleague or a written list of questions saves time.
Tasting protocol on the food stands
Wine, cheese and charcuterie stalls expect you to taste before buying, and a small purchase or an order for a case is normal after a tasting. Do not help yourself; wait to be served, and keep the tasting glass rather than leaving it on the counter. The food halls are busiest at weekends, so do serious buying on weekdays.
Livestock hall etiquette
Animals on show are handled by breeders and judges, and visitors must not enter pens or touch animals without invitation. Use the hand-washing points at hall entrances and exits, respect cordoned routes during judging, and avoid flash photography near nervous cattle. Ask before filming a breeder at work.
Judging day rhythm
Concours Général Agricole sessions pull breeders, judges and press into the ring areas, so stands near the rings empty and aisles fill at short notice. Schedule technical meetings for the morning and use the afternoon judging slots to walk the food and machinery halls instead.
Lunch is a fixed hour
French teams typically break between 12:00 and 14:00, and many stands run on a skeleton crew during that window. Book your main supplier conversation before noon or after 14:30, and expect restaurants in the 15th arrondissement to be full between 12:30 and 13:30.
Weekend crowds and families
Saturday and Sunday bring large family audiences to the animal halls and food stands, so machinery aisles are calmer but access to livestock areas is slower. If you need unhurried demos or contract talks, book weekday slots and leave the weekend for tasting and browsing.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: CDG
Book into CDG for the widest choice of long-haul and European connections, or into ORY when you can get a fare that offsets the shorter transfer; ORY is roughly 17 km from the halls and is usually the quicker taxi ride. Leave at least three hours between landing and your first stand appointment, because immigration, baggage and the RER or taxi run into Paris can take longer in the morning peak. If you fly into Beauvais, add 90 minutes and check that the shuttle coach schedule matches your arrival.
Schengen short-stay rules apply for France; check whether your nationality needs a visa before booking. Business travellers use the France-Visas business-trip route to confirm requirements.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Apply through the official France-Visas portal; visa and appointment fees are set by the portal and your local consulate, so check current amounts there.
OfficialGet to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG): 45-60 min by road, longer in weekday rush hour; Paris Orly (ORY): 25-40 min by road; Paris Beauvais (BVA): 75-95 min by road. 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: Motel One Paris Porte de Versailles; Porte de Versailles: Courtyard by Marriott Paris Porte de Versailles; Porte de Versailles: Hôtel Mercure Paris Porte de Versailles Expo.
Ride-hail: Uber, Bolt and Free Now operate in Paris and can be booked to the venue perimeter, with the app showing the designated pick-up points around Porte de Versailles. Ride-hailing is convenient for early meetings from hotels outside the metro network but is surcharged at peak times and slower than metro line 12 during show-week traffic. Official metered taxis are available at the airport ranks and at the venue stands; use the licensed rank rather than accepting offers from drivers inside the halls.
Public transit: Metro line 12 stops directly at Porte de Versailles, and tram T2 and T3a stop next to the exhibition entrance, so public transport is the fastest way in from most of Paris. Bus routes including the 39, 42 and 80 also serve the area. Single metro or tram journeys cost approximately EUR 2.50 and a Navigo Easy card or a carnet of tickets is cheaper than buying singles each time; confirm live fares on the RATP planner. Allow 15 extra minutes on weekend mornings and during the first hour after opening, when security queues build at the main entrances.
Parking: Paris Expo Porte de Versailles has on-site car parks serving the halls, with vehicle access from the Porte de Versailles and Porte de la Plaine areas and height limits that matter for vans. Show-week demand is high and weekend arrivals queue at the entrances, so arrive before 8:30 or use metro line 12 instead. Confirm daily rates, reservation options and exhibitor vehicle access with the venue or organiser before travelling, especially for machinery transport.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: Late February to early March 2027 (Paris)
Temperature: Daytime highs typically 7-10 C and overnight lows 2-4 C, with occasional colder snaps and light frost early in the morning. Halls are heated but the outdoor walk between metro, tram and entrance is exposed.
Seasonality: This is one of the damper, greyer periods in Paris, with frequent overcast days and passing showers rather than long downpours. Daylight is still short, so plan stand visits in daylight hours and allow for wet pavements and slippery floors near the hall entrances.
Packing: Pack a warm insulated coat, layers, scarf and gloves, a compact umbrella and water-resistant shoes for the walk from Porte de Versailles metro to the halls. Add a light jumper for heated halls, a power bank for long show days, and a folding bag for terroir products bought on the food stands.
