Tips & Advice

  • Buy your entry during the pre-sale, which stays open online until the day before the fair opens.
  • Keep your fair ticket with you, because showing it gets you a reduced rate at the Musée de la Mode et du Costume from November 19 to 22.
  • Leave your dog at home, because animals are not allowed anywhere inside the fair at the Palais des Congrès.
  • Ride a horse-drawn shuttle from Place de la République if you are already in the town centre, instead of driving over to the Palais des Congrès.
  • If you come by train, walk about 25 minutes along the Rhône quays, or take ENVIA bus Line 1 to the Palais des Congrès stop.
