Professional trade shows in Paris in January 2027: the month's B2B calendar

January 2027 does not spread out, it condenses. From Tuesday 12 to Monday 18, the trade shows follow one another and overlap between Porte de Versailles, Paris Nord Villepinte and Espace Champerret, with Maison&Objet and Who's Next sharing the same weekend. A week later, textiles take over Le Bourget and Villepinte from 25 to 28, before Playtime opens on the 30th at the Parc Floral.

Five exhibition sites, three transport lines to know, badges that are free for some shows and paid for others: this Paris trade show calendar follows the order of the dates and spells out, for each event, what to sort out before you leave. Dates overlap across different sites: Maison&Objet and Who's Next share three days, Texworld and Première Vision two, which means choosing your exhibition park day by day.

12 and 13 January: museums and cosmetics open the season

Museum Connections kicks off the year in Paris at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. This trade show devoted to museums and their ecosystem drew 6,332 participants in 2026, 21% of them from abroad, around 403 exhibitors. It runs for two days, Tuesday and Wednesday, and continues on Thursday 14 with an optional day, the Open Museum & Retail Tour.

On the same days, Cosmet'Agora takes place at Espace Champerret for its 19th edition. Organised by the Société Française de Cosmétologie, this B2B show on cosmetic formulation drew 5,510 visitors and 200 exhibitors in 2026, according to the organiser. The dates are confirmed by the organiser; visitor registration terms had not been detailed to date.

Maison&Objet, five days at Villepinte from Thursday 14

The January edition of Maison&Objet is called Maison&Objet Premier. It runs from Thursday 14 to Monday 18 January at Paris Nord Villepinte and is open to professionals only, as the official badge portal states. To give a sense of scale, the last edition, Maison&Objet Pulse from 10 to 14 September 2026, recorded more than 61,000 visits and 1,700 brands, according to the organisers' figures as reported by the trade press. No expected attendance has been published yet for January, nor have opening hours or the badge price.

The show opens two days before Who's Next: if you plan to do both, Thursday 14 and Friday 15 are the days to keep for Villepinte.

Saturday 16 to Monday 18: Who's Next and its partner shows in Hall 1

Who's Next occupies Hall 1 of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles with a single badge that also opens Impact, Bijorhca, the Salon International de la Lingerie and Interfilière Paris; the organiser also associates Shoppe Object Paris with it. Fashion, accessories, jewellery, lingerie and its fabrics: one ticket to cover several sectors in a single day.

It is best to buy your ticket before you come: €55 incl. VAT in pre-sale until the day before opening, €70 incl. VAT on site. Those with an invitation validate it on the online ticketing platform, which also offers a press badge and a student pass. Worth noting: the Salon International de la Plongée, open to the general public, is announced at Porte de Versailles from 14 to 17 January.

End of January: textiles between Le Bourget and Villepinte

Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris, held alongside Avantex, opens the week from Monday 25 to Wednesday 27 January at the Parc des Expositions de Paris-Le Bourget. More than 1,000 exhibitors from around 35 countries welcome textile and garment buyers, and the visitor badge is free.

The next day, Première Vision Paris takes place at Paris Nord Villepinte, from Tuesday 26 to Thursday 28 January. The organiser announces around 20,000 professionals of more than 130 nationalities and nearly 1,000 exhibitors. The e-pass is free, with registration announced on the show's website. The two events overlap on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the RER B serves both sites.

Playtime Paris closes the month at the Parc Floral

The children's fashion show Playtime Paris takes over the Espace Évènement of the Parc Floral de Paris from Saturday 30 January to Monday 1 February. Entry is free and reserved for professionals; the buyers' pass is announced from 20 October. Only two days separate it from the close of Première Vision: extending your stay over the weekend lets you do both.

This calendar is based on the schedules published by the organisers at the end of September 2026. The Palais des Congrès January agenda was not visible and other events may be added: always check the dates on the show's official website before booking.

Line 12 for Porte de Versailles, RER B for the north

Porte de Versailles can be reached without changing trains on line 12: it serves Trinité-d'Estienne d'Orves, one of the three stations around the hotel, then Saint-Lazare, all the way to the Porte de Versailles station, connecting with trams T2 and T3a. Journey planners estimate about 25 minutes from Saint-Lazare; this is an unofficial estimate.

Paris Nord Villepinte is reached by the RER B, Parc des Expositions station. Viparis, which manages the site, estimates about 30 minutes from central Paris; the Seine-Saint-Denis tourism board announces about 26 minutes from the gare du Nord, with a train every 15 minutes towards Charles-de-Gaulle airport. Line 17 will not reach it until 2028. During Première Vision, a free shuttle also links Terminals 2B and 2F of Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle to the show, handy if you land that same morning.

Le Bourget is on the same line: 10 minutes by RER B from the gare du Nord to Le Bourget station according to the Texworld organiser, then a free shuttle to the park, from 7 am to 8 pm from Monday to Wednesday, the three days of the show.

For Playtime, a free shuttle leaves from Château de Vincennes station (line 1, exit 3) from 9 am to 7:30 pm. For Espace Champerret, we have no verified route to give you. In any case, checking the Île-de-France Mobilités planner the day before avoids unpleasant surprises in the event of works or strike action.

Two overlapping weeks: staying in the 9th arrondissement

From 16 to 18 January, two shows overlap on two different sites, Villepinte and Porte de Versailles; on the 26th and 27th, it is the turn of Le Bourget and Villepinte. Hôtel R de Paris, a boutique hotel of 40 rooms, is at 41 rue de Clichy, in the 9th arrondissement. Gare Saint-Lazare is a 7-minute walk away. Three metro stations surround it: Place de Clichy (lines 2 and 13), Liège (line 13) and Trinité-d'Estienne d'Orves (line 12), the one that runs straight to Porte de Versailles.

For the trade show rhythm: check-in from 3 pm, check-out before noon, and luggage storage for the last day, when you go from the stand to the evening train. The rooms have individually adjustable heating, welcome in January. If your company requires certified accommodation, the hotel is Green Key labelled.

Booking direct on the website guarantees you the best rate; see also the early booking offer.

January therefore reads as two blocks, from 12 to 18 and then from 25 January to 1 February, with badges that are free or paid depending on the show, to be sorted out before you leave. For the end of the year, see the December calendar.
