Weather
November in Aubervilliers (Seine-Saint-Denis, Greater Paris) is cool and damp late-autumn weather. Typical climatological bands for the Paris region in November are daytime highs around 8-12 C, night lows around 3-7 C, and roughly 50-60 mm of rain spread over about 12-16 wet days, with grey skies and short daylight hours. Treat these as climate norms rather than a forecast, plan for rain-bearing fronts during the show days, and allow indoor or covered transit between the hotel and Les Docks de Paris.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
France has extensive mobile and fixed broadband coverage, and EU roaming rules apply to EU SIMs. Non-EU visitors should check roaming costs or buy a local prepaid SIM or eSIM on arrival; Paris airports and central Paris have shops and self-service options. Wi-Fi at Les Docks de Paris and any stand-level network requirements should be confirmed with the venue or organiser, especially for exhibitors running live IP, streaming or remote-production demos that may need dedicated bandwidth.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language
French is the working language of the Paris region and the SATIS Expo programme is published in French and English. Opening with a short greeting in French is appreciated, and English is widely used in the audiovisual, broadcast and integration sector.
Meeting etiquette
Business meetings in France typically start with a brief introduction and a handshake, and appointments are expected to be punctual even if they run long. Exchange business cards, confirm the person's role and keep product discussions specific rather than purely promotional.
Show-day rhythm
Exhibition days in Greater Paris usually run through the morning and early afternoon, with quieter periods around lunch. Plan technical demos and longer meetings for the morning or later afternoon and allow time for a proper break around midday.
Dining, hours and tipping
Restaurants in Aubervilliers and central Paris often serve lunch roughly between 12:00 and 14:00 and dinner from around 19:30. Service is generally included in the bill, so tipping is a small round-up rather than a mandatory percentage. Many shops close on Sunday, and it is normal to greet staff when entering a small shop.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: CDG
Book into Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) where possible: it is the closest major airport to Aubervilliers and is connected by RER B toward La Plaine - Stade de France, which shortens the transfer to Les Docks de Paris. Paris Orly (ORY) is a workable alternative, particularly for short and medium-haul European routes, but adds a longer rail or road transfer into northern Paris. Plan to arrive the day before the show opens so that badge collection and any transfer delays do not eat into the first show morning, and book a flexible or refundable fare where possible because November travel demand in Paris can be high. Indicative transatlantic economy returns into CDG sit roughly in the USD 550-1,100 band and short-haul European returns in the USD 120-350 band; these are planning estimates only, so confirm live prices before purchase.
Visa
France-Visas and the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs publish the official business-trip and short-stay visa rules for France. Whether you need a Schengen short-stay visa depends on your nationality; travellers from many countries can enter visa-free for short business visits, while others must apply for a Schengen visa before travel.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Confirm requirements and lodge applications through the official France-Visas portal and the French diplomatic network (france-visas.gouv.fr, diplomatie.gouv.fr). Allow extra time for appointments and biometrics at the consulate or visa centre serving your place of residence.
OfficialTransport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Paris (CDG): Primary international gateway serving Aubervilliers.. Allow road or rail time to Docks de Paris; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

Ride-hail: App-based ride-hailing is widely used in the Paris region, with Uber and Bolt the common options and licensed taxis also available from signed ranks. At CDG, use the designated app pickup zones in the terminal forecourts rather than accepting offers from unlicensed drivers inside the terminals. For Les Docks de Paris, set the pickup and drop-off at the venue entrance on avenue des Magasins Generaux, and expect higher demand and surge pricing at the end of the show day. Confirm app availability and an upfront fare estimate before travel.
Public transit: Aubervilliers and the Les Docks de Paris area are served by the Ile-de-France Mobilites network operated by RATP and partner operators: RER B at La Plaine - Stade de France, metro and bus lines through Aubervilliers, plus tram and bus connections across Seine-Saint-Denis. RATP publishes a specific itinerary to Les Docks de Paris at 87 avenue des Magasins Generaux, 93300 Aubervilliers, and Moovit also lists a step-by-step metro and bus route to the venue. Ile-de-France flat single fares apply (approximately EUR 2.50 for metro/train/RER and EUR 2.00 for bus/tram - confirm live fares), and contactless bank cards, smartphones and Navigo Easy cards are accepted on the network. Check line status and any planned engineering works before travelling on show mornings.
Parking: Parking is available at or near Chateauform Les Docks de Paris, with Mobypark listing options for the venue at 87 avenue des Magasins Generaux, 93300 Aubervilliers. Daily rates are not published in the captured sources, so confirm the tariff, access hours and vehicle-height limits with the venue or the parking listing, and reserve in advance during the two show days when demand is highest. If the on-site car park fills, look for nearby public car parks in Aubervilliers or Saint-Denis and allow extra walking time.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November 2026
Temperature: Approx. 3-12 C for Greater Paris in November: daytime highs typically around 8-12 C and night lows around 3-7 C. Confirm the forecast for the show dates before travel.
Seasonality: November sits in the wetter, cooler half of the year in the Paris region, with repeated rain events and about 12-16 wet days in a typical month, plus short daylight and frequent grey skies. Historical November climate pages for Aubervilliers and the Ile-de-France are published by Climate-Data.org, Weather Spark and Weather & Climate; treat all figures as climate norms rather than a forecast for show days.
Packing: Pack layers and a water-resistant outer shell for cold, showery November days in Greater Paris. Include comfortable walking shoes for metro, RER and bus connections, an umbrella or compact rain jacket for the walk between transport stops and Les Docks de Paris, and a warm mid-layer for the venue and for evening meetings. A small power bank is useful for long show days with heavy phone use.
