An architectural project

In December 2025, the exhibition centre modernisation programme will begin its last phase of construction work, with the ultimate goal of becoming a premier destination for all audiences. 

Pavilions 2 and 3 will be demolished and will give way to three new pavilions, redesigned to meet the current and future needs of event organisers. 

Discover the main features of the project: 

Located at the entrance of the grounds, Pavilion 2 will be modernised to provide three complementary spaces: 

• Grounf floor: Designed for long-term public exhibitions. Located right at the venue entrance, this space can operate independently from other events or be used in conjunction with Hall 2.2. 
• First floor: A seamless route through the grounds, with direct access to Pavilion 1 via “Pont des Expositions” and to Pavilion 3.

Pavilion 3 is designed as a large, flexible space that can adapt to a wide range of layouts. Thanks to its impressive height, it can host conferences, concerts and sporting events.

• 7,000 seats in conference setup
• 8,000 capacity in concert setup
• 3,700 seats in arena setup

Its extensive, partially pillar-free floor space and impressive ceiling height make it an ideal setting for major trade shows and large-scale conferences.

Located right next to the Paris Convention Centre, it can host plenary sessions for 7,000 people or more, complementing the existing spaces.

The construction work will also help to: 

• Separate visitor footfall from logistics flows,
• Connect the grounds with the towns of Issy-les-Moulineaux and Vanves thanks to well-designed pedestrian entrances,
• Increase the greenery in the grounds with planted roofs and new trees, 
• Improve the coexistence of operations in the exhibition centre with the everyday life of the nearby residential neighbourhood. 

A living, breathing venue with a window onto the city!
