Where to stay for Eurosatory 2028: the closest hotels to Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre are in Roissy-CDG and Villepinte/Parc des Expositions, with Paris Gare du Nord a short ride away. The fair runs 19 June to 23 June 2028 and rooms near the venue sell out first, so book a free-cancellation rate early. Add your company name and tax number at checkout for an itemised tax invoice.
Eurosatory is the largest international exhibition for the land and air-land defence and security industry, held every two years in Paris and returning in 2028. It brings together armed-forces delegations, defence primes, manufacturers and security firms for equipment displays, live demonstrations and high-level meetings. The event takes place at the Paris-Nord Villepinte exhibition centre, northeast of the city near Charles de Gaulle Airport. For a business traveller, the venue's location shapes everything: Villepinte is out of central Paris and is reached mainly by the RER B suburban train, which stops at the Parc des Expositions station beside the halls. Many attendees choose to stay near the airport or along the RER B line rather than in central Paris to cut the daily commute, while others accept a longer ride for the city's dining and hotels. Because Eurosatory is a major biennial defence gathering, hotels near CDG and Villepinte fill early and demand is intense.
Popular areas for attendees: Roissy-CDG · Villepinte/Parc des Expositions · Paris Gare du Nord.

Opulent gastronomic dining room off the Champs-Elysees, the benchmark for a high-stakes client dinner in Paris.

Grand brasserie
Montparnasse, 14th arr. (~4km from Porte de Versailles)
A vast, historic Art Deco brasserie serving oysters, steak tartare and classic seafood platters late into the night. Great theatre for a larger group.

Getting there
From Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
- CDG is close to Villepinte, just a few stops south on the RER B toward Parc des Expositions
- Shuttle services and taxis run between the airport and the fairgrounds during the event
- This proximity makes CDG-area hotels a popular base
By RER B from central Paris
- Take the RER B northbound and alight at Parc des Expositions, the station beside the venue
- The ride from central Paris takes roughly 35-50 minutes plus connections
- Check that your train serves Parc des Expositions, as not all RER B trains stop there
Getting around during Eurosatory
RER B to Parc des Expositions
- Parc des Expositions is the venue's own RER B station, a short walk from the halls
- Buy tickets covering the correct fare zone or use a Navigo pass
- Trains are crowded and security lines long at opening, so travel early
Taxi, shuttle and rideshare
- Taxis and event shuttles link CDG, nearby hotels and the venue
- Road access can be congested around opening and demonstration times
- Rideshare works but the RER B is usually the most reliable option in peak periods
Visa & entry
Schengen visa-free entry
- EU/EEA nationals and visitors from many visa-exempt countries can enter France for short business stays without a visa
- Visa-exempt non-EU visitors may stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area
Who needs a Schengen visa
- Travellers from non-exempt countries need a Schengen (business) visa arranged in advance
- Defence delegates should allow extra lead time and carry official invitations and accreditation documents
Entry rules change; confirm current requirements with the France embassy or official immigration site before booking travel.
First time at Eurosatory?
- Eurosatory is a defence and security show with strict access control; complete accreditation early and bring ID
- Register and collect your badge ahead of time, as security screening adds to entry times
- The site is large with indoor halls and outdoor demonstration areas; plan your route and check the schedule
- Confirm your RER B train stops at Parc des Expositions to avoid overshooting the venue
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Meeting-heavy delegations often prefer CDG-area hotels to minimise transit on a packed agenda
- Midweek days are best for scheduled meetings; opening day sees the heaviest crowds and security
- For a central-Paris stay, factor a 45-60 minute door-to-door commute and travel before the morning rush
- Book as soon as dates are confirmed; this biennial event fills airport and Villepinte hotels quickly

How are the weekly payments taken?
Automatically. After your first payment, each weekly payment is charged to your saved card, and we send you a reminder 2 days before every charge. In a few countries where automatic card charges are not allowed, we email you a secure payment link each week instead. You can switch to a different card at any time.
Can I pay early?
Yes. Sign in to your Event Escapes account at any time and pay off your remaining balance in one payment, whenever it suits you. There is never a fee for paying early.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We retry your card automatically and email you a secure payment link so you can pay another way, plus a final notice with one link to clear the remaining balance. If the plan still cannot be completed, we cancel the room before its free-cancellation deadline and everything you have paid goes into your Event Escapes Wallet in full. You never lose the money you have paid. You can turn that credit into a cash refund at any time (the processing fee applies).
