Paris Air Show
The first Exhibition of Aerial Locomotion was held at the Grand Palais, Paris in 1909. In 2007 the International Paris Air Show again provided the opportunity to meet all the players in the sector, with over 150,000 trade visitors. In 2009 (held every two years), the Show marked a hundred years of technological innovation in aeronautics and space conquest with an event that continues to look to the future of the industry.
For touring groups wishing to visit Paris, we highly suggest avoiding the city the dates of June 18 - 27, 2011. The official dates of the Show are June 20 - 26, but we need to allow a couple days on either end so hotels can empty out. During this time, the hotels in Paris increase their rates for the thousands of business travelers in the air industry.
