Exhibiting at  Paris Nord Villepinte

Paris Nord Villepinte is the largest exhibition centre in France, operated by VIPARIS and located north-east of Paris near Charles de Gaulle Airport. It offers around 246,000 sqm of exhibition space across seven interconnected halls plus two independent halls, set within roughly 200,000 sqm of preserved green space, and hosts major international fairs including SIAL, Maison&Objet, JEC World and Première Vision.

The venue

The seven linked halls allow large fairs to flow across connected space, while the two independent halls support simultaneous events. Hall 7 is HQE-environmentally certified with a green roof, reflecting the venue's sustainability positioning. The scale and connectivity make Villepinte suited to very large trade fairs, and the surrounding green space and parking support high visitor throughput.

Exhibiting and stand-building context

As France's biggest venue hosting some of the largest food, design and industrial fairs, Villepinte handles a wide range of stand types, from food-service builds with refrigeration at SIAL to high-finish design stands at Maison&Objet. Load-in runs through the venue's extensive dock system, and VIPARIS technical rules govern build-up, rigging and services. Given the scale, exhibitors confirm hall placement and logistics well ahead.

Getting there

Villepinte has its own RER B station, Parc des Expositions, directly beside the halls, giving fast rail access to central Paris (around 30 minutes) and Charles de Gaulle Airport (around 15 minutes). This direct rail link is a major advantage for international exhibitors and visitors and eases the logistics of the venue's large fairs.
