Maison&Objet Paris is one of Europe's leading trade fairs for interior design, decoration, homewares and lifestyle, held twice a year, in January and September, at the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition centre north of the city. The fair gathers thousands of brands from well over a hundred countries alongside designers, artisans, retailers, buyers and interior-design professionals, organised across themed sectors spanning decor, design, fine craft, fragrance, wellness and gifts. It is a business-focused event that sets seasonal trends for the global lifestyle sector. For a hotel-booking traveller, the venue sits beside Charles de Gaulle airport rather than in central Paris, and it is served directly by the RER B suburban rail line with a stop at the Parc des Expositions. That makes airport-adjacent hotels and RER B-linked neighbourhoods practical bases, while central Paris remains reachable for evenings, so weigh convenience against atmosphere when choosing where to stay.
Popular areas for attendees: Villepinte/Roissy CDG · Opera/Grands Boulevards · Gare du Nord/10th arrondissement.
- Maison&Objet fills hotels near Paris Nord Villepinte and along the RER B line twice a year, so rooms near the venue go quickly during show weeks.

- Booking early secures better rates before the fair's international crowd drives up demand across the north of Paris.

- Taxis and pre-booked transfers reach the venue from CDG in around 10-15 minutes outside peak traffic.
Arriving by rail or from central Paris

Visa & entry
Visa-free and Schengen entry

- Visa-free short-stay visitors should hold a passport valid for the trip and may be asked for proof of accommodation, funds and onward travel.
Travellers who must arrange a visa in advance
- Nationals of countries not covered by Schengen visa exemption must obtain a Schengen short-stay visa before travelling to France.

First time at Maison&Objet Paris?
- Paris Nord Villepinte is beside the airport, not in the city, so factor the RER B commute into your daily schedule if you stay centrally.
- The fair spans several large halls and themed sectors, so review the floor plan and plan a route to your priority exhibitors in advance.
- Buy a Navigo pass or use contactless payment to move easily between the venue, airport and central Paris on the RER B.
- Wear comfortable shoes and travel light on the show floor, as the halls involve extensive walking over multiple days.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Hotels right by Charles de Gaulle or on the RER B line cut your morning commute to a few minutes versus staying in central Paris.
- Arrive early or visit late morning to beat the opening-hour queues at the entrance and cloakrooms.
- The September edition and the January edition each set seasonal trends, so time your visit to the launches most relevant to your buying calendar.
- Keep evenings free for central Paris; the RER B makes it easy to combine a working day at the fair with dinner in the city.
