Travel & logistics
Local currency · EUR
Arrival airports
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Paris Charles de Gaulle
Main long-haul gateway for Paris. Fastest public route is RER B into the city, then metro line 12 to Porte de Versailles; a taxi or booked car to the Left Bank falls in the Paris fixed-fare zone, so agree the tariff before departure. Allow extra time on weekday mornings
to venue
Approx. 45-60 min by road; approx. 60-75 min by RER B plus metro connection
by car
Paris Orly
Orly is the closest of the Paris airports to the exhibition site. Use Orlyval to Antony plus RER B, or the Orlybus to Denfert-Rochereau, then metro line 12 or tram T3a onward to Porte de Versailles. Taxis use a fixed-fare zone to the Left Bank
Second Paris gateway, south of the city and closer to Porte de Versailles than CDG
to venue
Approx. 25-40 min by road; approx. 40-50 min by Orlyval or Orlybus plus metro
by car
Paris Beauvais
Beauvais-Tille handles mainly low-cost carriers and lies well north of Paris. The official coach connects with Porte Maillot in western Paris, from where metro or tram reaches Porte de Versailles; a direct booked car is faster but much more expensive
to venue
Approx. 80-100 min by road; longer with the shuttle plus metro
by car
Hotel tiers
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Hotel Mercure Paris Saint-Ouen
4-star tourist hotel
Saint-OuenUSD 150–190 / night
Captured on Google Hotels for Paris with a 4.1 guest rating from about 2.4K reviews; eco-certified, fitness centre, bar, restaurant, paid breakfast and parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Saint-Ouen sits north of the city, so plan a metro 13 or 14 run into central Paris and change for line 12 toward Porte de Versailles; allow 35-45 min door to door.
Novotel Paris Est
4-star tourist hotel
Paris EstUSD 150–190 / night
Chain 4-star hotel on the eastern side of Paris, convenient if you arrive from the east or stay near Gare de Lyon or Gare de l'Est. Reach Porte de Versailles by metro line 3 or RER into the centre and change for line 12; budget 35-50 min each way.
Atelier Montparnasse Hotel
3-star tourist hotel
MontparnasseUSD 95–122 / night
3-star hotel captured with a 31 percent below-usual deal; room service, airport shuttle, paid breakfast and parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Strong choice for this fair because Montparnasse-Bienvenue has a direct metro line 12 connection to Porte de Versailles, roughly 10-15 min without a change.
Glint Paris
Boutique hotel (class not stated in capture)
ParisUSD 150–202 / night
Captured with a 35 percent below-usual deal and a 4.5 guest rating; paid breakfast, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and pets accepted. Exact address was not captured, so confirm the neighbourhood and check that metro line 12 or tram T3a gives you a simple run to Porte de Versailles before booking.
Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
RER + metro
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forParis Charles de Gaulle (CDG) to Porte de Versailles - Halls 5.2 et 5.3
RER B runs from both CDG terminals into central Paris; change for metro line 12 toward Mairie d'Issy and alight at Porte de Versailles. Allow 60-75 min including the connection and a 5-10 min walk to Halls 5.2 and 5.3. Buy a single RER B ticket from the airport, not an inner-city t+ ticket, which does not cover the airport zone.
Orlyval / Orlybus + metro
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forParis Orly (ORY) to Porte de Versailles - Halls 5.2 et 5.3
Orlyval links both Orly terminals to Antony RER station, while the Orlybus runs to Denfert-Rochereau. From either connection point continue by metro, changing for line 12. Total journey is typically under an hour and Orly is the closest Paris airport to the exhibition site.
airport coach + metro
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forParis Beauvais (BVA) to Porte de Versailles - Halls 5.2 et 5.3
The official Beauvais coach drops travellers at Porte Maillot in western Paris. Continue by metro and tram to Porte de Versailles. The coach timetable is timed to flights, so check that your arrival leaves enough buffer before the halls close.
taxi
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forParis Charles de Gaulle (CDG) to Porte de Versailles - Halls 5.2 et 5.3
Paris applies fixed fares between its airports and the two banks of the Seine, so the meter should not run on this trip. Insist on the official tariff and keep the receipt. Journey time is traffic dependent, roughly 45-60 min, and longer on weekday mornings.
taxi
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forParis Orly (ORY) to Porte de Versailles - Halls 5.2 et 5.3
Orly sits inside the fixed-fare system for Left Bank destinations and is the shortest taxi hop of the three airports at roughly 25-40 min. Taxi ranks are signed at both terminals; avoid unlicensed cars being offered inside the terminal.
booked car / private transfer
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forParis Beauvais (BVA) to Porte de Versailles - Halls 5.2 et 5.3
No fixed taxi tariff applies from Beauvais, so a pre-booked transfer is usually cheaper than a metered ride. Drive time is roughly 80-100 min outside peak hours. Most low-cost travellers instead use the coach to Porte Maillot and metro onward.
metro
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forCentral Paris (Montparnasse-Bienvenue, Gare de Lyon, Chatelet) to Porte de Versailles via line 12
Metro line 12 terminates at Mairie d'Issy and stops directly at Porte de Versailles, which puts the fairground entrance a short walk away. From Montparnasse-Bienvenue the ride is about 10-15 min; from Chatelet allow 25-30 min. Validate your ticket at the gate and keep it until you exit.
tram
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forTram T2 or T3a to the Porte de Versailles stop
Both tram lines serve the Porte de Versailles stop and are useful from Issy, Boulogne and the southern ring, or from the Porte de Vincennes side on T3a. Buy the ticket from the platform machine before boarding and validate it on board.
Weather
The Paris edition sits in January 2027, the coldest, greyest stretch of the Paris year. Expect daytime highs around 5-8 degrees Celsius, nights near 1-4 degrees, frequent overcast skies and intermittent light rain, with sunset falling around 17:15-17:45, so the return trip happens in darkness. Halls 5.2 and 5.3 are indoor spaces and well heated, but the walk from metro line 12 or the tram stops, the security queue and any outdoor waiting are not, so dress for a cold wait. These are climatological ranges for Paris in January rather than a forecast: check the French national weather service (Meteo-France) in the 48 hours before you travel, and allow for the occasional cold snap or light snow that can slow transport.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
France is inside the EU roaming zone, so visitors with an EU or EEA mobile plan use their home allowance at no extra cost under roam-like-at-home rules; non-EU travellers should arrange a travel eSIM or a French prepaid SIM from Orange, SFR, Bouygues or Free on arrival. The Paris Expo halls are large steel and concrete structures, and mobile data often slows when the halls fill, so download your badge, floor plan, Parcoursup documents and talk schedule for offline use. Wi-Fi coverage on the show floor depends on the organiser and the hall, and some stands run live demos or admissions lookups over the venue network, so confirm availability with the organiser or the venue before relying on it for a critical live query.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language on the floor
French is the working language of this student fair and most printed programme guides are in French. Grandes ecoles, international desks and Campus France stands normally have English-speaking staff, so ask for the international contact when a programme is of interest.
Greeting and register
Open every exchange with 'Bonjour' before asking a question, including at a busy stand, and use 'vous' with advisers. French school and university staff keep a fairly formal register, and a short polite greeting gets a fuller answer than launching straight into questions.
Lunch and timing
Exhibitor stands stay open through the lunch period but adviser rotas thin out and hall food outlets queue from roughly 12:00 to 14:00, which is later than many visitors expect. Plan your most important stand visits for the first hour after opening or the mid-afternoon.
Tipping and payments
Service is included in French bills ('service compris'), so a tip is optional; rounding up or leaving small change is normal in cafes. Cards are accepted almost everywhere on site, but keep some coins for small purchases and lockers.
Metro and tram etiquette
Validate your ticket at the gate or on the platform machine and keep it until you exit, since inspections are routine. Keep bags in front of you in crowded carriages, and stand clear of the doors at Porte de Versailles when the halls empty at closing time.
Site security and bag checks
Paris Expo entrances run bag checks during large public shows, and queues build quickly in the first hour. Arrive before opening on the first day, carry a small bag rather than a suitcase, and allow extra time if you are escorting a school group.
Strike and disruption awareness
Paris transport can be affected by strikes or planned works with little notice. Check the RATP or Ile-de-France Mobilites service status on the morning of your visit and keep a taxi or ride-hail plan as a backup for the trip back to your hotel.

Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: CDG
Travel to Paris for a January edition should be booked early, because the fair shares the calendar with a busy winter period and hotel and air capacity tighten near Porte de Versailles. Captures for 29 January 2027 departures showed fares low versus usual on the Dubai and Sydney routes, typical on London and Tokyo, and high on New York JFK, so the transatlantic leg is the one to lock in first. The London-Paris sector was the shortest captured at about 1 hr 25 min, while Asia-Pacific origins routed through Gulf, Turkish or Asian hubs with total journeys of 14 to 27 hours, which means an overnight or a full travel day either side of the fair. Tokyo and Singapore captures carried a travel update warning that air traffic disruption may affect flights, so allow buffer time before the opening day and avoid tight same-day connections into CDG or Orly. From either airport, RER B or Orlyval plus metro line 12 reaches Porte de Versailles without a taxi.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG): Approx. 45-60 min by road; approx. 60-75 min by RER B plus metro connection; Paris Orly (ORY): Approx. 25-40 min by road; approx. 40-50 min by Orlyval or Orlybus plus metro; Paris Beauvais (BVA): Approx. 80-100 min by road; longer with the shuttle plus metro. Allow road or rail time to Porte de Versailles - Halls 5.2 et 5.3; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Porte de Versailles - Halls 5.2 et 5.3: Saint-Ouen: Hotel Mercure Paris Saint-Ouen; Paris Est: Novotel Paris Est; Montparnasse: Atelier Montparnasse Hotel.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing works well in Paris and is a practical backup when metro line 12 is disrupted or when you are carrying large bags. Uber, Bolt, Free Now and Heetch all operate in the city, with pickup zones at CDG terminals and at Orly; the apps show the price before you confirm, which matters because surge pricing appears during the morning peak and at hall closing time. Set the drop-off point as the Porte de Versailles main entrance rather than a hall number, since drivers cannot enter the exhibition site. For airport runs, compare the app price with the Paris fixed taxi fare to the Left Bank, which is approximately EUR 56-65 from CDG and EUR 35-45 from Orly, and confirm both before you commit.
Public transit: Porte de Versailles is unusually well served for an exhibition site, which makes public transport the default choice for this fair. Metro line 12 runs directly to the Porte de Versailles stop, roughly 10-15 min from Montparnasse-Bienvenue and 25-30 min from Chatelet, putting the entrance to Halls 5.2 and 5.3 a short walk away. Tram T2 and tram T3a both call at the Porte de Versailles stop and are useful from Issy, Boulogne and the southern ring. Bus 80 connects the site with central Paris at street level. A single ticket inside Paris costs approximately EUR 2.50; a pack of tickets or a Navigo Easy card cuts the per-ride cost, and the Paris Visite pass suits stays of several days with airport legs. Keep your validated ticket until you leave the system. Allow 25-40 min from central hotels in the morning peak, and check the RATP or Ile-de-France Mobilites service status the day before, because planned works and strikes can reroute line 12 at short notice.
Parking: The Paris Expo Porte de Versailles site runs its own car parks with lifts and stairs up to the halls, so drivers can park and reach Halls 5.2 and 5.3 without leaving the site. Expect approximately EUR 20-30 per day during show periods, with pre-booking usually cheaper where the venue offers it; confirm the current tariff and vehicle height limits with the venue before travelling. Arrive before mid-morning, since fill rates peak once school groups and mid-morning visitors land. If the on-site car parks are full, the streets around the Porte de Versailles and Issy boundary have metered parking with short maximum stays that do not suit a full fair day. Driving inside Paris also means the low-emission zone rules apply to older vehicles, so check your vehicle sticker requirements before you set out.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: January (2027 edition)
Temperature: Approx. 5-8 degrees Celsius daytime, 1-4 degrees at night, with colder spells below freezing possible. These are typical Paris January ranges, not a forecast - check Meteo-France in the 48 hours before travel.
Seasonality: January is one of the greyest, dampest months in Paris, with frequent overcast days and intermittent light rain rather than long downpours. Daylight is short: sunset falls around 17:15-17:45, so the walk back to metro line 12 or the tram stops after the halls close happens in the dark. Wind on the open esplanade in front of the halls makes the air feel colder than the thermometer suggests.
Packing: Pack a warm, wind-resistant coat you can carry over an arm indoors, plus a mid-layer, a scarf and gloves for the outdoor walk from the metro or tram. Bring a compact umbrella or a light rain shell, and shoes with cushioned soles because a full day across Halls 5.2 and 5.3 is a lot of standing on concrete. Add a refillable water bottle, a small notebook for stand notes and a folder for the brochures and programme guides you collect. If you are escorting a school group, agree a visible meeting point indoors rather than outside, where the cold and rain make waiting unpleasant.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
What is the Salon de l'Etudiant en Ile-de-France and who is it for?
It is the Paris regional edition of L'Etudiant's student orientation fair. It targets lycée pupils choosing post-bac courses, students considering reorientation, apprenticeship candidates and parents who want to compare programmes, entry requirements and fees in one visit.
When and where is the Paris edition held?
The edition listed here takes place in January 2027 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, in Halls 5.2 and 5.3. Opening days, hours and any conference timetable are published on the organiser's schedule page, which is the reference to check before booking travel.
Do I have to register before arriving, and is entry paid?
L'Etudiant runs online visitor registration for its Paris student fair. Entry terms and any ticket price are not stated in the sources used for this listing, so confirm the current registration requirement and price on the official schedule page rather than assuming free walk-in access.
What should a lycée student bring to the fair?
Bring your Parcoursup wish list or dossier, your latest report cards or bac results, and several copies of a one-page CV. Note your three or four priority questions per institution so advisers can answer them quickly on a busy stand.
Can parents attend with their children?
Yes - parents routinely attend this fair to compare programme content, tuition and living costs, and to ask about housing and student finance. Expect peak crowding on the weekend days, and split the stand list between you so more advisers can be seen.
Does the fair cover apprenticeships and alternance?
Yes. CFAs, lycées with BTS sections and schools with work-study tracks exhibit, and many present employer partners and the contract types available. Bring your CV and ask directly which companies recruit on the programme you are considering.
How do I get to Porte de Versailles from the airports?
From Charles de Gaulle, take RER B into Paris and connect to metro line 12. From Orly, use Orlyval or the Orlybus and connect to metro or tram. From Beauvais, the shuttle bus reaches Porte Maillot, where you continue by metro. Metro line 12, tram T2 and tram T3a all stop at Porte de Versailles, roughly EUR 2.50 for a single ticket inside Paris.
Are there conferences or talks at the fair?
L'Etudiant publishes a schedule page for the Paris edition that lists talks, workshops and advice sessions by day. The number and timing of sessions per day were not captured for this listing, so check the schedule page in the week before you travel and plan your stand route around the talks you want.
Is the fair useful for reorientation or for adults returning to study?
Universities and specialised schools present parallel admissions and continuing-education entry points, and advisers can explain VAE and validation routes. Adult visitors should prepare a short summary of their work experience and ask about entry requirements specific to their profile rather than the standard post-bac route.
What language is used at the fair?
French is the working language on the floor and most documentation is in French. International desks, grandes écoles and Campus France stands usually have English-speaking staff, so ask for the international contact when a programme interests you.
