Premiere Vision Paris is the leading international showcase for fashion textiles and creative materials, spanning fabrics, yarns, leather, designs and accessories. Held twice a year in February and September at Paris Nord Villepinte, its September 2026 edition runs 1-3 September. It is a trade-only event drawing fashion designers, buyers, product developers, brand and collection managers, and sourcing and merchandising professionals, with around 900 exhibitors. For a hotel-booking traveller, the venue's position between Charles de Gaulle Airport and central Paris is the defining factor: it sits directly on the RER B line at the Parc des Expositions station, just a few minutes from CDG. Many attendees therefore stay at Roissy/CDG-area airport hotels for a fast RER or short taxi hop, rather than facing a 45-60 minute commute from the city. If you prefer central Paris, choosing a hotel on the RER B line, such as near Gare du Nord or Chatelet, gives a direct ride, though September's peak fashion and trade season means booking early is wise.
Popular areas for attendees: Roissy CDG Airport · Villepinte/Parc des Expositions · Paris Opera/Grands Boulevards.

Getting there

- From CDG Terminal 2 TGV it is roughly 12 minutes (two stops).
- Note that not all RER B trains stop at Parc des Expositions, so check the platform display.
By taxi or shuttle
- CDG is only a few km away, so a taxi or ride-hail is quick at roughly 10-15 minutes.
- Organised fair shuttles are sometimes offered; check the current edition.
- The airport's proximity makes taxi a viable alternative when RER trains are crowded.
Getting around during Premiere Vision Paris

Who needs an advance visa
