Quote within 48 h · Workshop in Levallois-Perret · Express on-site support during your show
Paris trade shows host the biggest professional events in Europe and the most ambitious stands. An average stand becomes invisible there, and Paris logistics forgive no improvisation.
At Porte de Versailles or Villepinte, your aisle neighbours invest heavily. A standard stand disappears into the crowd.
Tight build-up slots, regulated truck access, badges, traffic: a stand builder discovering the venue wastes precious time.
A distant contractor bills the journeys, arrives the day before and leaves straight after. If anything breaks during the show, nobody comes back.
TheStandExperts is a stand builder and manufacturer: in-house design office, manufacturing workshop and installation teams, based in Levallois-Perret, at the gates of Paris. That proximity changes everything: we know the regulations and loading docks of every Paris venue, we deliver your stands without draining your budget into transport, and if anything unexpected happens during your show, we are on site within the hour. That is the difference between a supplier and a true exhibition stand partner.
We design and build every format: custom stands, modular stands, double-decker stands and event stands.
« A stand builder twenty minutes from your stand changes the whole show. When an exhibitor calls on an opening morning, we are on site before their first meeting. »

Founder of TheStandExperts, stand builder for 20 years
One single formula, turnkey from the first call to storage. Here is everything included when you entrust us with your Paris stand, in the order it happens.

The rest, design, manufacturing, transport, build-up, paperwork, dismantling, storage, is on us.
From Porte de Versailles to Le Bourget, each venue has its own rules, access and build-up constraints. We operate at every Paris trade show, and we prepare each project according to the venue’s specifications.

Four questions to find the right format for your venue, your floor space and your budget. No personal data required.
4 questions, a recommendation matched to your venue and budget
The budget depends on the format far more than on the city. Here are the ranges observed at Paris trade shows, from the economical modular to the double-decker stand. For the item-by-item breakdown, read our guide to exhibition stand costs.
| Format | Indicative budget | Best for | Learn more |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modular stand | €300 to €500/m² | Reusable 10 to 20 times, the best cost per show | Modular stand |
| Custom stand | €600 to €1,500/m² | Unique image, premium materials, workshop manufacturing | Custom stand |
| Double-decker stand | €1,000 to €2,000/m² developed | Doubles the floor area without renting more m² | Double-decker stand |
| Event set-up | On request, per project | Scenography, animation, multi-venue roadshow | Event stand |
Indicative ranges for a Paris trade show, excluding floor space rental. Paris logistics costs (build-up slots, badges, deliveries) are built into our quotes, no surprises.
An overflowing storage room, a damaged visual, a bulb to replace: we intervene during your show, not the following week.
Loading docks, Viparis time slots, height limits, badges: we anticipate the constraints that cost others whole days.
Our workshop is a few kilometres from the venues: your budget goes into the stand, not the truck.
Storage of your stand between two editions, reconfiguration for the next show: your investment lasts for years.
A process honed over 20 years of Paris trade shows, from the venue’s regulations to the dismantling. Haven’t booked your floor space yet? Here is how to choose the best location.

Choose a stand builder that manufactures rather than a middleman: they control their deadlines, costs and quality. Check that they know your show’s venue (Porte de Versailles, Villepinte, Le Bourget), that they handle the organiser’s file and that they can intervene quickly during the event. A workshop close to Paris is a real advantage: responsiveness, lighter logistics and express on-site support.
Expect €300 to €500 per m² for a modular stand, €600 to €1,500 for a custom stand and €1,000 to €2,000 per developed m² for a double-decker stand. The city matters less than the format: in Paris, it is mainly the venue’s logistics constraints that count, and we build them into the quote from day one.
All of them: Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Paris Nord Villepinte, Le Bourget, the Palais des Congrès, the Grande Halle de La Villette, the Paris Event Center and the Carrousel du Louvre, as well as event locations outside the main venues (hotels, museums, pop-up spaces).
Allow 1 to 2 months for a modular stand and 2 to 6 months for a custom or double-decker stand, depending on the scale of the project. Major Paris shows often require a technical file to be submitted to the organiser several weeks before the opening: the earlier you start, the better.
Yes, entirely: build-up and dismantling slots, access badges, loading docks, height and safety rules, organiser’s file. Twenty years of Paris trade shows have taught us the regulations of every venue, and we prepare each project accordingly.
Yes, that is the advantage of being based at the gates of Paris: in case of the unexpected (damaged visual, lighting, furniture, adjustment), a team can be on your stand very quickly, often within the hour at the Paris venues.
Yes, we are a stand builder and manufacturer: 3D design by our own design office, manufacturing in our Paris-region workshop and installation by our own teams. No subcontracting of the structure, which secures your deadlines and the quality of finish.
