The hotels on the site (Eklo, Mama Shelter, Novotel, Motel One) are the closest. Anywhere in Paris on metro line 12 or the T3a tram is a direct ride. During the Mondial de l'Auto and Retromobile the hotels next to the site fill first.
It is an indoor exhibition venue, so there are no stands: visitors walk the halls.
Facilities
Four hotels sit on or next to the site: Eklo, Mama Shelter, Novotel and Motel One. Food inside depends on the show.

The track
Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is the largest exhibition centre in central Paris, on the southern edge of the 15th arrondissement, run by Viparis. It currently has five pavilions with 169,400 m2 of exhibition space. Pavilions 2 and 3 are being demolished and rebuilt as three new halls, taking the site to eight pavilions and 210,970 m2 by 2028, so which halls a show uses can change from year to year. Car shows here (the Mondial de l'Auto, Retromobile) fill whole pavilions with indoor displays.
