Art3f Paris 2027: where to stay near Porte de Versailles

Art3f Paris returns to Porte de Versailles for its 18th edition with a relaxed, barrier-free approach that shakes up the traditional art fair. Over three days, Hall 5.2 at Paris Expo brings together artists, gallerists, painters, sculptors and photographers from France and abroad with one clear goal: making contemporary art welcoming to everyone, collectors and first-timers alike. The fair blends affordable pieces with more prestigious works. Direct contact between creators and visitors drives the whole event: artists staff their own booths, walk guests through their process and keep the mood warm and conversational. A central bar-restaurant with live jazz rounds out the visit, turning the fair into a lively social hub rather than a silent showroom. Opening hours run across the weekend: Friday, January 22 from 1 pm to 9 pm (vernissage from 6 pm), Saturday the 23rd and Sunday the 24th from 10 am to 7 pm. Adult admission is €10, with advance tickets at €7, and children accompanied by an adult enter free. Tickets are sold online and at the door up to 30 minutes before closing. The venue sits in Paris's 15th arrondissement with excellent transit links: metro lines 8 and 12, tram T2 and T3a, and buses 39 and 80. A must for anyone planning to stay near Porte de Versailles and make the most of Paris's January cultural calendar.
