Key facts
About Paris Photo 2026
Now in its 29th edition, Paris Photo is the premier international fair dedicated to photography and image, bringing together galleries and publishers from around the world at the Grand Palais.
The 2026 edition includes conversations, book talks, signings and a presentation drawn from the Centre Pompidou collection, alongside the Elles × Paris Photo trail run with the Ministry of Culture.
Doors are open from 1pm to 8pm each day, with an earlier 7pm close on Sunday 15 November. Access and full programme details are managed exclusively by the official organiser, Reed Exhibitions (RX), via the official Paris Photo website.
Getting to the Grand Palais from CDG, Orly and Gare du Nord
Charles de Gaulle Airport sits roughly 35–40 minutes from central Paris outside peak hours; Orly is closer, typically 25–35 minutes. A private chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name sign, tracks your flight and includes waiting time, so there is no queuing for taxis after a long journey.
If you are arriving by Eurostar into Gare du Nord, a chauffeur pickup gets you straight to your hotel or directly to the Grand Palais without the hassle of luggage on public transport.
From central Paris hotels, the Grand Palais on Avenue Winston-Churchill sits in a well-connected but often congested part of the 8th arrondissement, so a pre-booked chauffeur avoids last-minute taxi searches during fair hours.
Getting around Paris during Paris Photo
Exhibitors, collectors and VIP visitors attending multiple days often find hourly chauffeur hire the most practical option, with a car and driver at disposal to move between the Grand Palais, gallery previews, dinners and evening events without renegotiating each leg.
A chauffeur waiting outside the venue after the day's programme closes is especially useful in November, when evenings are cold and dark and taxis can be scarce near major exhibitions.
Premium vans are a good fit for small groups or teams travelling with equipment, portfolios or framed works between appointments across the city.
Planning tips for Paris Photo 2026
Book your chauffeur ahead of the fair, particularly for the opening days and any evening previews, as availability during major Paris exhibitions can tighten closer to the dates.
Confirm your flight or train details when requesting your quote so meet & greet and waiting time are arranged correctly.
If your visit combines Paris Photo with other business or leisure stops in the city, a multi-day chauffeur programme can be quoted as a single booking.
Chauffeur tips for Paris Photo 2026
- Book your CDG or Orly transfer in advance for the fair's opening days, when arrivals traffic into central Paris can be heavier.
- Use hourly hire if your day includes the Grand Palais plus gallery visits or dinners elsewhere in the city.
- Share your Eurostar arrival time at Gare du Nord so your chauffeur can track the train and adjust pickup accordingly.
- Request a premium van if travelling with colleagues or transporting portfolios and equipment.
- Ask your chauffeur to wait after the fair closes, especially on the shorter Sunday schedule, to avoid searching for a taxi in the evening.
