Concierge Tips:
During major trade fairs and professional events, traffic can be particularly heavy, especially around Villepinte, Le Bourget (during the Air Show), and Porte de Versailles. Taxis are often scarce during peak hours (early morning and late afternoon).
We recommend our guests to either use public transport (metro/train system) or to arrange a private car & driver service through our Concierge.
