Taxi
Paris applies fixed taxi tariffs between CDG and the city; queue at the official rank rather than accepting unlicensed offers.

Line 14 connects Orly directly with central Paris and stops at Bercy, making ORY the simplest airport for the Infraweek venue.
Taxi
Roughly 25-40 minutes depending on traffic on the peripherique and the Seine bridges.

Beauvais is about 85 km from Paris; the coach plus metro combination takes roughly 2 hours door to door.
Metro and bus
Bercy station on lines 6 and 14 sits directly at the ministry district; Gare de Lyon is one stop away for RER A/D connections.
Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Weather
Paris in early November is cool and often damp: daytime highs typically 9-13°C, nights around 5-7°C, and November averages roughly 11 rain days. Expect grey skies and short daylight after about 17:15 once the clocks change. Pack a waterproof outer layer and an umbrella, plus shoes suitable for walking between venues on wet pavements. Forecasts change quickly in autumn, so check a local forecast a few days before departure.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
EU-issued SIMs roam in France under EU roaming rules; travellers from outside the EU typically buy a prepaid SIM or eSIM from French operators or an eSIM app before arrival. Paris is covered by RATP metro, RER, tram and bus networks plus Transilien suburban rail, with journey planning on ratp.fr or the Ile-de-France Mobilites app. A Navigo Easy card or contactless phone ticket is the easiest way to pay for metro and bus rides. Wi-Fi is common in hotels and conference venues, but ministry guest networks may require pre-registration, so carry a mobile hotspot or data plan for bilateral meeting follow-ups.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language
Sessions at Paris Infraweek are largely conducted in French with English interpretation for international guests, and most finance-sector counterparts in Paris work comfortably in English. A short greeting in French is appreciated in bilateral meetings.
Business dress and punctuality
Business formal is the norm for ministry sessions and investor roundtables. Meetings start on time and are tightly scheduled, so arrive 10 minutes early and keep introductions brief.
Access and security at the ministry
The Ministry for the Economy and Finance at Bercy requires advance registration for building access and photo ID at security. Allow 20-30 minutes on the opening morning for badge collection and screening.
Metro etiquette
Paris metro and RER services are busy at 08:00-09:30 and 17:30-19:30. Keep bags in front of you, validate your ticket or phone pass on every entry, and keep your pass until you exit the network.
Public holidays
11 November is Armistice Day, a French public holiday, which falls just after the Infraweek week in 2026. If you extend your trip, expect some businesses and museums to run reduced hours on that date.
Tipping and payments
Service is included in French restaurant bills; rounding up or leaving 5-10 percent for good service is normal. Cards are widely accepted, but keep a small amount of cash for cafes and taxis.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: CDG
Book into CDG for the widest long-haul choice or ORY for the fastest transfer to Bercy on metro line 14. Early November is shoulder season in Paris, so fares are usually lower than in September or December, but book 4-8 weeks ahead because the Infraweek week coincides with other autumn conferences. Arrive the day before your first session: the opening morning combines badge collection and security screening. Compare rail alternatives for short European routes such as London, Brussels and Amsterdam, where train travel is often competitive door to door. All fare bands shown are approximate, confirm live fares before booking.
Visa rules depend on nationality; France-Visas publishes the business-trip visa route and application steps for entering France.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Confirm document requirements and appointment lead times on france-visas.gouv.fr before booking travel.
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; about 45-55 min by RER B plus metro; Paris Orly (ORY): 25-40 min by road; about 35-45 min by metro line 14; Paris Beauvais (BVA): 75-90 min by road; longer by coach plus metro. Allow road or rail time to French Ministry for the Economy and Finance; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near French Ministry for the Economy and Finance: Saint-Denis / Stade de France: Saint-Denis / Stade de France; Saint-Ouen / Marche aux Puces: Saint-Ouen / Marche aux Puces; Porte de Montreuil: Porte de Montreuil.
Ride-hail: Uber, Bolt and FREENOW all operate in Paris, with pickup points at CDG and Orly and city coverage including Bercy and Gare de Lyon. Approx. EUR 20-45 for a cross-city trip and EUR 35-65 from the airports, depending on traffic and surge; confirm the fare in the app before booking. Official airport taxi ranks are the safer fallback at peak arrival times, and ride-hail pickups at the ministry require using a nearby public address rather than the restricted government forecourt.
Public transit: The Bercy ministry district is served by metro line 14 (Bercy) and line 6 (Bercy), with Gare de Lyon a short walk or one stop away for RER A and RER D and metro line 1. From CDG, take RER B into central Paris and change to line 14; from Orly, line 14 runs directly to Bercy. Single rides are approx. EUR 2.50 with cheaper carnet or Navigo Easy options, and airport rail links cost more. Plan routes on ratp.fr or the Ile-de-France Mobilitas app and confirm live fares and any engineering closures during the week.
Parking: On-street parking around Bercy is limited and metered, and the ministry forecourt is restricted to authorised vehicles. Delegates driving should use public underground car parks near Bercy and Gare de Lyon and expect approx. EUR 25-40 for a full day; confirm current tariffs on site. If you are staying at a suburban budget hotel, check that parking is included, but note that driving into central Paris adds congestion and low-emission zone restrictions, so metro is usually faster for the week.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November 2026 (Infraweek week: 2-6 November 2026)
Temperature: Daytime highs typically 9-13°C, night-time lows around 5-7°C; early November can still see a milder 15°C afternoon or a cold snap near 5°C
Seasonality: November is a wet shoulder-season month in Paris, averaging roughly 11 rain days, often as short showers rather than all-day rain. Daylight ends around 17:15 after the clock change, so evening sessions finish in the dark.
Packing: Pack a warm waterproof jacket, layers, an umbrella and comfortable waterproof shoes for walking between Bercy, Gare de Lyon and partner venues. Bring a compact bag for documents and a charger, since days run long across parallel tracks. Check a local forecast two to three days before departure, as autumn conditions shift quickly.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Paris Infraweek usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Check the France-Visas business-trip route for your nationality and, if a Schengen visa is needed, book the appointment now so it lands before the 2-6 November 2026 week.
Book flights into CDG (fastest to Bercy by RER B plus metro) and reserve a hotel in Bercy, Gare de Lyon, Bastille or central Paris; budget hotels in Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen are cheaper but add 30-40 minutes each way.
Register for the Paris Infraweek sessions you want on the official week agenda; many roundtables are capped and require a separate confirmation per session.
Map the venues: the Ministry for the Economy and Finance at Bercy is on metro lines 6 and 14 (Bercy station), and several partner sessions sit near Gare de Lyon on RER A/D.
Draft your meeting targets by track - energy transition, digital and data centres, security and resilience - and request bilateral meetings with the investors or developers you want to meet.
Review the final week agenda, note clashes between parallel tracks, and print or download any briefing documents you need since ministry Wi-Fi access may be restricted.
Pack a warm waterproof layer and umbrella for cool, damp November days; arrive 30 minutes early on the opening day for badge collection and security screening at the ministry.
