ReadPlan your trip
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Paris Charles de Gaulle
Paris's main long-haul gateway and the widest choice of direct flights. Take the RER B into central Paris and change to metro line 12 for Porte de Versailles, or use the licensed taxi ranks and ride-hail pick-up points outside each terminal. Allow extra time for baggage and security at peak periods and confirm live timetable or strike information before travelling.
Approx. 30-35 km from the venue (estimate)
to venue
Approx. 45-60 min by road, longer at peak hours; approx. 60-75 min by RER B plus metro
by car
Paris Orly
The closer of the two main Paris airports to Porte de Versailles, with strong domestic, European and North African networks. The Orlyval automatic shuttle connects the terminals to the RER B for the run into central Paris, then metro to Porte de Versailles; licensed taxis and ride-hail also serve the terminal forecourts. Traffic on the Paris ring road can add time during show week.
Approx. 15-18 km from the venue (estimate)
to venue
Approx. 30-45 min by road; approx. 45-60 min by Orlyval, RER and metro
by car
Paris Beauvais
A secondary airport used mainly by low-cost carriers. The official coach shuttle runs to a drop-off in central Paris, from where metro or tram lines continue to Porte de Versailles. Because the transfer is long, choose Beauvais only if the overall fare and schedule still work for you, and book the shuttle in advance during show week.
Approx. 80-85 km from the venue (estimate)
to venue
Approx. 75-90 min by road; longer if using the coach shuttle plus metro
by car

Weather
Late March in Paris is early spring: typical daytime highs sit around 11-13 C and overnight lows around 3-5 C, with a mix of bright spells, cloud and passing showers and roughly 8-10 wet days across the month. Cold snaps are still possible, so treat the figures as climatological bands rather than a forecast and check a seven-day forecast shortly before departure. Values are estimates.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
EU and EEA SIM cards roam at domestic rates across France under the roam-like-at-home rules, while visitors from outside the EU should check their own operator's France bundle or buy a local prepaid SIM or eSIM on arrival; Orange, SFR, Bouygues and Free all have retail shops across Paris. Free Wi-Fi is standard in hotels, cafes and many public spaces, but venue Wi-Fi coverage can be congested during show hours, so confirm hall Wi-Fi and any exhibitor-only networks with the organiser if you plan live stand demos. 5G coverage is broad across central Paris and the exhibition district.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and business etiquette
French is the working language of most Paris logistics companies, though English is widely used at international fairs such as SITL Europe. Open meetings with a short greeting in French and a handshake, exchange business cards at the start, and expect product discussions to be direct on technical questions and more formal on commercial terms.
Opening hours and meals
Paris offices typically work 09:00-18:00 with a lunch break around 12:30-14:00, and many restaurants keep limited service between those hours. During show week, book evening tables in advance, especially around Porte de Versailles and Montparnasse, and expect Parisians to dine later than in northern Europe.
Tipping and payments
Service is included by law in French restaurant bills, so a small round-up or five to ten per cent is an optional extra rather than an expectation. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, including taxis, but a little cash is useful for small purchases, cafes and market stalls.
Security and public transport
Expect bag checks at the venue and a visible security presence in central Paris under the national Vigipirate posture. Keep photo ID with you, do not leave luggage unattended on the metro or RER, and keep valuables out of sight in crowded stations such as Chatelet and Montparnasse.
Show-week rhythm
Badge gates and cloakrooms are busiest on the first morning, so arrive before opening if you have early supplier meetings. Build stand visits around the conference timetable rather than against it, and leave buffer time on the last afternoon, when exhibitors begin dismantling and taxi queues at Porte de Versailles lengthen.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: CDG
Compare fares into Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Paris Orly (ORY) first, since both have straightforward rail and taxi links towards central Paris and Porte de Versailles; Orly is the closer of the two by road. Paris Beauvais (BVA) is served mainly by low-cost carriers and needs a coach transfer into the city, so choose it only if the total journey time still works with your show schedule. Book changeable or refundable fares where possible, arrive at least the afternoon before your first meeting, and check rail and metro strike notices in the week before departure, because industrial action is the main risk to airport to venue transfers.
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, longer at peak hours; approx. 60-75 min by RER B plus metro; Paris Orly (ORY): Approx. 30-45 min by road; approx. 45-60 min by Orlyval, RER and metro; Paris Beauvais (BVA): Approx. 75-90 min by road; longer if using the coach shuttle plus metro. Allow road or rail time to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Pav.1; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Pav.1: Porte de Versailles / Vanves edge, 15th arr.: Porte de Versailles / Vanves edge, 15th arr.; 15th arr. / Issy-les-Moulineaux / Montparnasse: 15th arr. / Issy-les-Moulineaux / Montparnasse; Central Paris / Left Bank: Central Paris / Left Bank.
Ride-hail: Uber, Bolt and the G7 and Folbe taxi apps all operate in Paris, including pick-ups at the main airport terminals and around the Porte de Versailles exhibition district. Expect demand pricing during show opening and closing hours and during evening conference sessions, and confirm the exact pick-up point with your driver, as the Paris Expo perimeter has several entrances and vehicle gates. Official taxi ranks at CDG, ORY and the venue remain the simplest fallback when apps show long waits.
Public transit: Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is served by metro line 12, station Porte de Versailles, and by tram lines T2 and T3a, with buses 39 and 80 stopping nearby and Noctilien night buses covering the area after the metro closes. Connections from Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon, Montparnasse and Chatelet involve one change or a tram link, and airport transfers combine RER and metro. Buy single tickets or an unlimited Navigo day or multi-day pass; a single metro, bus or tram journey costs approximately EUR 2.50 (confirm live fares). Check the Ile-de-France Mobilites route planner and any strike notice before travelling, since RER and metro disruption is the most common cause of delays in Paris.
Parking: Paris Expo operates on-site pay parking around the Porte de Versailles perimeter, with several car parks feeding the different halls and pavilions. Spaces are limited on busy show days, so arrive early, check whether the car park serving Pavilion 1 is open for your badge type, and confirm current hourly or daily rates directly with the venue or on sitl.eu. Alternative options include the surrounding public car parks at Porte de Versailles and Issy, plus the park-and-ride sites on the metro and tram network if you prefer to leave the car outside central Paris.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: March 2027 (early spring in Paris)
Temperature: Typical late-March conditions range from about 3-5 C overnight to 11-13 C in the afternoon, with occasional colder snaps and milder days above 15 C. Treat these figures as climatological bands and check the seven-day forecast before you travel.
Seasonality: March in Paris is changeable, mixing bright spells, cloud and passing showers, with roughly 8-10 wet days across the month. Rain is usually light and intermittent rather than persistent, and wind can make the walk between the metro station, tram stops and the pavilion entrances feel colder than the thermometer suggests.
Packing: Pack layers: a jumper or light jacket plus a water-resistant outer layer, a compact umbrella and comfortable walking shoes for long days on concrete exhibition floors. Add a scarf or light gloves for early mornings, and carry a power bank, a slim notebook or tablet for stand notes, and a small day bag that meets venue bag-check rules.
