Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
train
Estimated costEUR 10-22 airport or regional rail single journey
Best forCharles de Gaulle (CDG) to central Paris (RER B)
RER B carries passengers from CDG into central Paris, where a change onto the metro is needed for Porte de Versailles. From Gare du Nord the practical route is metro 4 to Montparnasse-Bienvenue and metro 12 to Porte de Versailles. Allow 60-75 minutes door to door and check for engineering works on the RER B line.
train
Estimated costEUR 10-22 airport or regional rail single journey
Best forParis Orly (ORY) to Porte de Versailles
Orly is the closer of the two main airports to the 15th arrondissement. Options include Orlyval to Antony then RER B, or the T7 tram towards Villejuif, in both cases followed by a metro change to reach Porte de Versailles. Allow 40-60 minutes.
bus
Estimated costEUR 35-85 taxi or rideshare to the venue district
Best forParis Beauvais (BVA) to Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles - Pavillon 4
Beauvais sits well outside the city. The official coach shuttle runs to west Paris, from where metro or taxi finishes the trip to the venue district. Allow 1 h 30 to 2 h total between the airport and the fairground.
taxi
Estimated costApprox. EUR 55-70 for the fixed Left Bank airport fare; confirm current official rates
Best forCharles de Gaulle (CDG) to Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles - Pavillon 4
Paris taxis use fixed airport fares that differ for the Left and Right Bank; the Porte de Versailles district sits on the Left Bank and is quoted at the higher fixed rate. Ride-hailing apps may price differently and can surge during trade weeks.
taxi
Estimated costApprox. EUR 35-45 for the fixed Left Bank airport fare; confirm current official rates
Best forParis Orly (ORY) to Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles - Pavillon 4
Orly is materially closer to the venue than CDG, so the taxi is shorter and cheaper. Use the official taxi rank rather than unlicensed drivers who approach arrivals halls.
metro
Estimated costEUR 2-5 single metro journey (contactless)
Best forCentral Paris to Porte de Versailles (metro 12 / tram T2, T3a)
Metro line 12 terminates at Porte de Versailles and tram lines T2 and T3a also stop at the fairground, so most inner-Paris hotels need only one or two changes. A reloadable Navigo Easy card avoids buying a paper ticket each day.
tram
Estimated costEUR 35-85 taxi or rideshare to the venue district
Best forWestern and southern Paris tram corridors to Porte de Versailles
Trams T2 and T3a serve the Porte de Versailles stop and are useful if your hotel sits along the western or southern Paris tram corridors rather than on metro line 12.
Weather
November in Paris is late autumn: cool, often grey and damp, with short daylight hours. Daytime temperatures typically sit in a broad 5-12 C band and overnight lows drop to around 5-7 C, with roughly ten rain days across a typical November. The AccuWeather Paris page consulted during capture did not return usable monthly data, so check a live forecast close to departure. Pack a warm waterproof layer and a compact umbrella for the walk between hotels and the Porte des Expositions halls, and note that mid-November sunset falls before 17:30. Bands are climatological approximations, not a forecast.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Travellers on EU or EEA SIMs benefit from roam-like-at-home rules, so their existing data plan works in France at domestic rates. Visitors from outside the EU can buy prepaid SIMs or eSIMs from French operators such as Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free, sold at both airports, in city shops and online; photo ID is normally required for SIM registration. Venue Wi-Fi availability, capacity and any exhibitor password policy at Porte de Versailles vary by event and hall, so confirm with the organiser before relying on it for stand demos, payment terminals or live streaming, and treat a local data plan or pocket hotspot as a backup.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Getting to the fairground
Porte de Versailles is served by Paris metro line 12 (Porte de Versailles station) and tram lines T2 and T3a; allow extra time on weekday mornings when commuter traffic peaks, and keep a metro ticket or loaded Navigo Easy card ready for the return trip.
Language and dining
French is the working language at the venue; most exhibitor and hotel staff in the Porte de Versailles area speak English. Paris restaurants typically serve lunch from 12:00-14:30 and dinner from 19:30, so plan show-day meals around those windows or eat at the venue.
Payments and tipping
Prices are quoted in euros (EUR). Card payment is accepted almost everywhere including taxis, metro ticket machines and hotel bars; a small tip of 5-10% is customary in restaurants when service is not already included.
November daylight
Sunset in mid-November Paris falls before 17:30, so plan any outdoor meetings or city visits for the morning and early afternoon, and expect the walk back from the halls to be in darkness.
Business etiquette on the stand
At French trade events, greet stand staff with a handshake and your company name before launching into questions, and exchange business cards early. Appointments matter: walking up without a slot works on quiet stands but not with major suppliers during peak hours.
Practical numbers and safety
The European emergency number is 112; in France 15 reaches medical help, 17 the police and 18 the fire service. Keep bags closed in crowded metro carriages and on busy hall aisles, and keep a photo of your passport and badge in case either is lost.

Flights
Destination: CDG
Google Flights captures for this edition used Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) as the destination across every origin searched, including London, Dubai, New York, Tokyo, Singapore and Sydney. Price insights on the New York route suggested booking roughly 2-5 months ahead, and the Singapore search flagged the cheapest booking window as open until 31 October. No fare amounts were captured, so compare live prices before committing. For UK-based travellers, the same capture lists a direct St Pancras to Gare du Nord train at about EUR 75 one way in roughly 2 h 20 min, which lands in central Paris and avoids airport transfers entirely, though it does not remove the final metro or taxi leg to Porte de Versailles. Book flexible or refundable fares where possible until the organiser confirms final dates and opening hours.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Charles de Gaulle (CDG): Approx. 45-60 min by road outside peak hours; Paris Orly (ORY): Approx. 25-40 min by road outside peak hours; Paris Beauvais (BVA): Approx. 75-95 min by road to the venue district. Allow road or rail time to Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles - Pavillon 4; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles - Pavillon 4: Porte de Versailles: Courtyard by Marriott Paris Porte de Versailles; Porte de Versailles: Novotel Paris Porte de Versailles; Porte de Versailles: Porte de Versailles Hôtel.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps operate in Paris, with Uber and Bolt the most commonly used, alongside the traditional G7 taxi network and taxi ranks at the airports and major stations. Drivers pick up at designated points, not always directly at the hall entrance, so allow a short walk from the Pavillon 4 exit. Demand and surge pricing rise at the end of the show day and during trade weeks, so booking ahead or using the metro for the return trip is often quicker. Confirm local availability and app coverage before you travel, and verify that the fare shown matches the app before departure.
Public transit: Porte de Versailles has its own metro and tram stop. Metro line 12 is the terminus at Porte de Versailles and is the most direct rail route from central Paris; tram lines T2 and T3a also serve the fairground. Fares across Ile-de-France are zone-based, and a single journey inside the region costs roughly EUR 2.50, with a reloadable Navigo Easy card the easiest way to pay for multiple rides. Airport rail links such as RER B from CDG are priced separately and much higher than an ordinary metro ticket. Confirm live fares, ticket types and any line closures on the Ile-de-France Mobilites site before travelling.
Parking: The Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles site includes paid on-site parking as part of the venue complex, which is the simplest option if you drive to the halls. Paris trade weeks fill the surrounding streets quickly, so arrive early, follow venue signage rather than the first barrier you see, and confirm daily rates, pre-booking options, vehicle-height limits and which gate serves Pavillon 4 with the organiser or venue before setting out.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November 2026
Temperature: Approx. 5-12 C (41-54 F) daytime, with overnight lows around 5-7 C; short daylight hours and a real chance of cold, damp spells. Climatological approximation, not a forecast - check a live forecast before departure.
Seasonality: November is one of the damper months in Paris, with roughly ten rain days across a typical month and predominantly overcast skies. Rain usually arrives in light, persistent bands rather than short storms, so plan indoor alternatives and allow extra travel time on wet mornings when metro and road traffic are heavier.
Packing: Pack layers for cool autumn days, a waterproof jacket or compact umbrella, and comfortable walking shoes for the Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles site, where you will cover long distances on hard floors. Add a warmer mid-layer and a smart-casual outfit for evening meetings or dinners, since temperatures drop noticeably after the show closes and mid-November sunset falls before 17:30. A power bank is worth packing for long days out of the hotel.

Answers
Frequently asked
When and where is this edition being held?
The current listing points to a November 2026 edition at the Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles, Pavillon 4, in Paris, France. Dates, daily opening hours and last-entry times should always be re-checked on the organiser site before you book non-refundable travel.
Which Paris airport should I fly into for the venue?
Both Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Paris Orly (ORY) are viable. Orly is the closer of the two to the 15th arrondissement and the Porte de Versailles fairground, while CDG handles most long-haul traffic. Paris Beauvais (BVA) is a secondary airport well outside the city and needs a coach or taxi leg into Paris first.
How do I get from Charles de Gaulle to Porte de Versailles by public transport?
Take RER B from the airport into central Paris, then change onto the metro. One straightforward route is metro 4 from Gare du Nord to Montparnasse-Bienvenue and then metro 12 to Porte de Versailles, which terminates at the fairground. Allow 60-75 minutes door to door and confirm live fares and any engineering works before travelling.
Does Porte de Versailles have its own metro and tram stop?
Yes. Metro line 12 terminates at Porte de Versailles, and tram lines T2 and T3a also stop at the fairground. If your hotel is on the line 12 corridor, you can reach the halls without changing transport.
Is parking available at the venue?
The Porte de Versailles site has on-site paid parking operated as part of the venue complex. Rates, entry gates and pre-booking options should be confirmed with the organiser or venue before you drive, especially during a trade week when the surrounding streets are busy.
Where should I stay near the show?
The closest cluster of hotels sits in the Porte de Versailles / 15th arrondissement, within roughly 400-500 m of the halls, including Courtyard by Marriott Paris Porte de Versailles, Novotel Paris Porte de Versailles and Porte de Versailles Hotel. Cheaper options such as hostels and tourist residences are further out and rely on metro or tram connections. Book early because Paris trade weeks tighten availability in this district first.
Do I need a visa to attend in Paris?
France is in the Schengen area. Many nationalities, including UK, US, Canadian, Japanese, Singaporean and Australian passport holders, can enter visa-free for short business visits of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Other nationalities need a Schengen short-stay visa applied for through the official France-Visas portal and a French consulate. Rules change, so verify your own case before booking.
Can the organiser send an invitation letter for my visa application?
Trade fairs in France commonly issue invitation or confirmation letters to registered exhibitors and visitors who need supporting documents for a Schengen visa application. Register first, then check the organiser site or your registration confirmation for the correct request channel and allow several weeks for processing.
What is the weather like in Paris in November?
November is late autumn: expect cool, often grey days with a real chance of rain and short daylight hours. Typical daytime temperatures sit in a broad 5-12 C band, and sunset in mid-November falls before 17:30, so evening activities need planning. Check a live forecast close to departure.
What should I pack for a November show at Porte de Versailles?
Layers, a waterproof jacket or compact umbrella, and comfortable shoes for walking between pavilions and across the site. Bring a smart-casual layer for business meetings and dinners, and note that halls and evening streets can feel cold after the show closes.
Is the show open to the general public?
Many editions at Paris trade venues are professional-only and require pre-registration with proof of employment in the sector. Check the registration page on the organiser site to see whether badges are trade-restricted, what documents are required, and whether any public day is included.
How much does local transport cost in Paris?
Approximate single-journey fares inside Ile-de-France are around EUR 2.50 for a metro or bus ride, with airport rail connections such as RER B costing noticeably more, roughly EUR 12-14. Paris airport taxis also use fixed fares that differ for the Left and Right Bank. Treat these as indicative bands and confirm live fares on the operator or airport site.
Is Wi-Fi available at the venue?
Venue Wi-Fi policies at Paris exhibition centres vary by event and by hall, and exhibitor access is often handled separately from public visitor access. Confirm the position with the organiser before you plan to run stand demos, live streaming or payment terminals over venue Wi-Fi, and treat a local data plan or hotspot as your backup.
