Why a crew from Essen for a show in France

France is where we have the most recent proof outside Germany: in 2025 we photographed and filmed Vapexpo Paris at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles for Sunakin, working the stand (booth) from opening to close and delivering the highlight video before the show was dismantled. Paris is easy from Essen. The direct train from Düsseldorf or Cologne reaches Gare du Nord in under four hours, and Charles de Gaulle is an hour and a quarter in the air.

Lyon and Marseille are one and a half to two hours by air from Düsseldorf, and Eurexpo lies a short taxi ride from Lyon Saint-Exupéry. Strasbourg we reach by car or train along the Rhine in about four and a half hours. Travel and hotel are quoted once per trip and shared with any other exhibitor booked for the same show week; over a multi-day booking they become a small share of the total.

French and other EU companies with a VAT ID receive a reverse-charge invoice without German VAT; companies outside the EU are invoiced net. The packages are €990, €1,490 and €1,990 plus VAT, identical to Germany, and most exhibitors who book us for France also show in Düsseldorf or Frankfurt in the same year.

Paris, Lyon, Strasbourg and Marseille

Paris has two exhibition centres. Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in the 15th arrondissement is the largest in France, seven pavilions on Metro line 12 and the T2 and T3a trams, home to VivaTech in June, the Salon International de l'Agriculture in late winter, the Mondial de l'Auto in even-year Octobers and Vapexpo Paris. Paris Nord Villepinte sits beside Charles de Gaulle airport with its own RER B station and takes the large B2B fairs: SIAL Paris in even-year Octobers, Maison&Objet in January and September, and Global Industrie, which alternates with Lyon.

Eurexpo Lyon in Chassieu, close to Saint-Exupéry airport, is the second-largest venue in France and hosts Sirha, the hospitality and food-service show, every odd-year January. The Parc des Expositions in Strasbourg at Wacken, beside the European Parliament, hosts the Foire Européenne in September and a regional trade calendar.

Parc Chanot in Marseille lies beside the Stade Vélodrome on Metro line 2 and hosts the Foire Internationale de Marseille in early autumn along with professional shows for the south. Photo rules at French venues match the German pattern: your own stand, staff and products may be photographed freely, visitors in close-up are asked first.

How booking and delivery work

Send us the show, the pavilion and your stand number, plus the days you want covered. Within 24 hours you receive the package price and one travel figure, in English, and we tell you if another exhibitor is already booked for that week. 50 % on booking confirms the crew and the travel, 50 % is due on the show day.

We photograph the empty stand on the first morning, follow your team and visitors once the pavilion fills and record subtitled interviews on a second or third day. French is not among our working languages; stand teams in France work with us in English. The full set, the highlight video and the vertical clips arrive within 24 hours after the coverage ends, before your train or flight home.
