WNE, the World Nuclear Exhibition, which the organiser RX France calls the world's leading civil nuclear exhibition, returns to Paris Nord Villepinte from 7 to 9 December 2027. It is held every two years in Paris and covers the whole civil nuclear value chain, from mining, enrichment and fuel to large reactors, small modular reactors, fusion, maintenance, waste management and decommissioning, plus uses beyond electricity such as nuclear medicine, heat and hydrogen. The 2025 edition counted more than 36,000 participants, more than 1,070 exhibitors (45% international), 24 national pavilions, 9,000 business meetings and 140 conferences. Entry is strictly for professionals working for or in the civil nuclear industry, with an identity card checked at the door. Villepinte sits beside RER B, two stops from Charles de Gaulle airport, so WNE hotels range from Paris Nord 2 and the Roissy CDG area near the halls to Le Bourget and central Paris around Gare du Nord, a longer ride but better for evening dinners. This page shows live rates for your dates; your WNE badge comes from the organiser and is separate from your hotel booking.

How do you get to WNE (World Nuclear Exhibition)?
From the Paris airports
- From Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), the organiser says the trip takes about 10 minutes on RER B towards Robinson or Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, alighting at Parc des Expositions
- The organiser says the RER B stops right at the entrance of the venue, so most visitors flying in long haul can reach the halls without a taxi

- From Beauvais airport, the organiser suggests the official shuttle to Porte Maillot, Metro line 1 to Châtelet and then RER B, about 2 hours in all
From central Paris and by car

- Eurostar and other trains arriving at Gare du Nord put you straight onto RER B for the show
- By car from Paris, the organiser's route is the A1 or A3, then the A104 towards Soissons, following the signs for Parc des Expositions
