How do you get to INTERMAT?
From Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
- Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) is only about 5 minutes by rail from Paris Nord Villepinte, making it the closest gateway.
- From the CDG rail station (Terminal 2), take the RER B toward Paris and alight at 'Parc des Expositions' - not 'Villepinte' - which serves the halls directly.
- Trains run frequently throughout the day; buy a Zone 4 ticket, as a standard Paris metro ticket is not valid for this stretch.
- Free INTERMAT shuttle buses and taxis from CDG also serve the venue during the show; a taxi takes around 10-15 minutes.
By train
- The RER B links Paris Nord Villepinte with central Paris (via Gare du Nord and Châtelet) in about 30 minutes.
- High-speed TGV trains arrive at CDG's TGV station and at central Paris terminals, both connecting onward by RER B.
- By car, the venue is reached via the A1 and A104 motorways with extensive on-site parking.
How do you get around during INTERMAT?
Public transport
- The RER B is the backbone connection, running between CDG, the 'Parc des Expositions' station, and central Paris frequently all day.
- In central Paris, the metro, RER, buses, and trams form a dense network reachable on Navigo or paper tickets.
- Remember that the RER trip out to the Parc des Expositions is in Zone 4, so buy the correct fare or a day pass covering it.
Taxi and rideshare
- Official taxis and apps such as Uber and Bolt operate at CDG, the venue, and across Paris.
- Free INTERMAT shuttle buses from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to the Parc des Expositions typically run during the show.
- Expect longer taxi waits and higher fares at peak opening and closing times near the exhibition entrances.
Do you need a visa for INTERMAT?
Visa-free and Schengen entry
- France is part of the Schengen Area, so EU/EEA and Swiss nationals can enter with a valid ID card or passport.
- Visitors from visa-exempt countries (such as the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and Japan) can enter for short business stays without a visa.
- The EU's ETIAS travel authorisation is expected to apply to visa-exempt non-EU travellers once in force; check its status before you travel.
Travellers who need a visa in advance
- Nationals of countries outside Schengen visa-waiver rules must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before travelling.
- Apply through the French consulate or an authorised visa centre early, as major Paris trade shows drive high travel demand.
- Carry an INTERMAT invitation or registration confirmation to support a business-visa application.
Entry rules change; confirm current requirements with the France embassy or official immigration site before booking travel.
First time at INTERMAT?
- Get off the RER B at 'Parc des Expositions', not 'Villepinte' station, which does not serve the exhibition halls.
- Buy a Zone 4 RER ticket or a day pass, as a standard Paris metro ticket won't cover the trip to the venue.
- The site is large across multiple halls; use the official app or map to plan by product sector and save walking time.
- Spring weather in Paris is mild but changeable, so pack a light jacket and comfortable shoes for long exhibition days.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Staying near CDG or Villepinte minimises your commute; a city-centre base trades a longer RER ride for Paris evenings out.
- Travel outside rush hour on the RER B where possible, as the line gets crowded during peak commuter times.
- Book Paris restaurants ahead during the show, and consider dining near your hotel to avoid long cross-city trips after closing.
- Keep some cash and a contactless card handy, and validate RER tickets carefully to avoid fines on the Zone 4 stretch.
