Paris Expo Porte de Versailles

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles gives you 169,400 m² of exhibition space across 5 pavilions inside the city of Paris, with metro line 12 and the T2 and T3a tram lines stopping at the gates. The venue is at 1 Place de la Porte de Versailles, 75015 Paris, and is run by Viparis. The operator says the site hosts 200 events a year and more than 5.5 million visitors, and it plans 210,970 m² across 8 pavilions by 2028. It is one of the main venues for trade shows in Paris.

Halls and floor space

You can match the hall to the size of your event, from Pavilion 6 at 15,358 m² to Pavilion 7 at 70,163 m² on 3 levels. The operator describes Pavilion 1, at 44,936 m², as the largest single-floor hall on the grounds, with up to 25.95 m under its central nave. Pavilion 4 has a central area that is entirely pillar-free across 12,000 m², on a single level with no steps, which makes large stand builds simpler to lay out. Pavilion 6 was fully rebuilt in 2020. Pavilions 2, 3 and 8 are part of the operator’s Horizon 2028 plan.
