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.

How do you get to Eurosatory?
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
How do you get 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
Do you need a visa for Eurosatory?
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

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
