Visit Paris

Getting to Paris

• By air — Paris is served by Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Orly (ORY) and Beauvais (BVA). CDG and Orly both connect to the city centre by rail
• By rail — direct high-speed services reach Paris from London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Cologne, Frankfurt, Barcelona, Milan, Geneva and most French cities. For most European delegates the train is faster door-to-door than flying, and considerably lower-carbon
• Long-distance coach — services arrive at Bercy-Seine and Porte Maillot

We encourage delegates to travel by rail where it is a reasonable option.

Visas

France is part of the Schengen Area. Depending on your nationality you may need a short-stay Schengen visa. Apply early, because appointment waiting times can be long in peak season.

If you need an invitation letter for a visa application, write to general-chairs@nime2027.org. How these are issued is still being arranged, so ask early rather than close to your appointment.

Accommodation

June is high season in Paris and rooms go quickly, so book early. Whether the conference will arrange a block booking or negotiated rates is not decided yet. Accommodation guidance will be published here once registration opens.

Money and practicalities

• Currency is the euro. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, contactless included
• Tap water is safe to drink, and free drinking fountains are scattered across the city
• Paris in late June is typically 17–26°C, occasionally hotter. Bring something for a warm evening and something for a sudden shower
