Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
It is the oldest, and probably the best known of the exhibition centers in Paris. And it is also the only one located (in part) in the capital, at the border between the 15th, Issy-les-Moulineaux and Vanves. The first constructions were built in this place in 1923, and although they have changed since then, their purpose remains the same: to offer Parisians a gigantic gathering place around culture.
Today, the exhibition center, like its two northern cousins, is a key venue for hosting a wide variety of events, from trade shows to cultural exhibitions and more. The Paris Convention Centre, managed by Viparis, is composed of 7 pavilions and is well-known for hosting the Agriculture Fair.And the Paris Fair. It has also hosted the Paris Book Fair and the International Boat Show for many years. In between these events, the various buildings are used to host exceptional exhibitions, as well as conferences and private gatherings.
And, fun fact, the roof of Pavilion 3 is decorated with the largest mural in Europe, covering a whopping 23,000 m². It was inaugurated in 2019 by the artist duo Ella and Pitr, and its two parts (since it is split in the middle by the ring road!) depict a sleeping woman wearing a red sweater that can't be missed from the sky!Voir cette publication sur Instagram

Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center
Second in the family of Parisian exhibition centers, the Paris Nord Villepinte park is, with its 135 hectares of land, the largest in France (and the 6th largest in Europe). Built in 1982, it is now an immense site eco-friendly (200,000 m² of green spaces where biodiversity is preserved), located not far from Charles de Gaulle Airport.
As its name indicates, it is located in Villepinte, where it has been hosting the largest professional trade shows in the country since its creation. At the same time, with 42 meeting rooms, 2 amphitheaters, 20 restaurants, 22 bars, and 1 karting track spread across 9 buildings, we understand why it is attractive for companies, groups, and other professional organizations who want to easily combine work and leisure!
And its location less than a 3-hour flight from a Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center Opened at the same time as its neighbor in Villepinte, this other exhibition center in Paris (which is not to be underestimated), also offers a very nice exhibition space to host events of all kinds. Even though they are often related to aeronautics, given the proximity to the airport of the same name. Slightly smaller than its two counterparts, this center also has 5 halls, which over the years have hosted numerous climate summits, as well as some political meetings, and conventions for leisure vehicle collectors (yes, we also think that it's still very specialized and interesting). The Paris Le Bourget Exhibition Center is particularly known for its building number 3, which was renovated a few years ago, making it ultra modern.
More recently, the Paris Le Bourget Exhibition Center has undergone real transformations in order to host the media village for the Paris 2024 Olympics. Super convenient for o.Colleagues are covering the climbing events happening at Le Bourget!
