CONSTRUCTION TRADE SHOW
BATIMAT Paris 2026 — chauffeur service & transfers
Fixed-price transfers to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles for construction professionals, exhibiting manufacturers and international delegations.
BATIMAT gathers manufacturers, contractors, architects and distributors from the construction sector across several pavilions of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Unlike the Villepinte fairs, this venue sits inside Paris on the southern edge of the 15th arrondissement — closer to the city, but with saturated approach roads on the boulevard périphérique and Porte de Versailles itself during opening hours.
Our chauffeurs approach the venue from the side that is actually moving, drop you at the pavilion you need, and pick you up away from the taxi queue at closing time — the single worst 30 minutes of an exhibition day.
Most guests combine a CDG or Orly airport transfer on arrival with an hourly chauffeur in Paris during BATIMAT Paris 2026, booked as one Paris business event transportation file. Other exhibition weeks are listed in the Paris trade shows and events calendar.

Chauffeur service for BATIMAT
Building-industry visitors rarely travel light: product samples, technical documentation and, for exhibitors, stand equipment. A private chauffeur means one loading point at your hotel and one drop-off at the pavilion entrance, without carrying anything through the metro.
For business days with several appointments across Paris, an hourly chauffeur keeps the car with you between the fair, a construction site visit and a client meeting.
- Direct drop-off at the pavilion entrance
- Van capacity for samples and technical material
- Hourly service for site visits and client meetings
- Pickup away from the closing-time taxi queue
Airport transfers: Orly and CDG to Porte de Versailles
Orly is the closer airport, about 25 to 35 minutes from Porte de Versailles via the A6 and the périphérique. From Charles de Gaulle, allow 50 to 70 minutes since the route crosses the whole city on the ring road.
Every airport transfer includes flight tracking and meet & greet inside the arrivals hall — your chauffeur is already there if you land early, and waits at no extra cost if you are late.
- Orly → Porte de Versailles, the fastest airport option
- CDG → Porte de Versailles across the périphérique
- Flight tracking with 60 minutes of complimentary waiting
- Beauvais transfers available for low-cost carriers
Paris hotels near BATIMAT
The hotel cluster around Porte de Versailles, Vaugirard and Issy-les-Moulineaux puts you within a ten-minute ride of the halls. Visitors who prefer to stay central usually pick Montparnasse, Saint-Germain or the 7th, all under 20 minutes outside peak times.
We schedule the morning shuttle around opening hours and adjust for the boulevard périphérique, where the section between Porte d'Orléans and Porte de Versailles slows sharply after 8 am.
Exhibitors, delegations and group transport
Exhibiting companies get a week programme: a setup transfer with material, daily team shuttles between hotel and stand, client pickups, and a dismantling run. Delegations travelling as a group are handled with vans, or with several vehicles departing together from the same hotel.
One corporate account, one invoice, prices agreed per journey — the paperwork stays simple even when the week has thirty rides in it.
Sedan & van
Business sedan for up to 3 passengers, business van for up to 7 with luggage. For stand teams travelling with boxes and display material, the van is generally the right vehicle even for four people.
Why Paris Drivip for a Porte de Versailles fair
Porte de Versailles is easy to reach and hard to leave. Our chauffeurs work this venue year-round — VivaTech, motor shows, professional fairs — and know the streets behind the halls where a car can pick you up in two minutes instead of forty in the rank.
