Scenography
Hall 7.3 at Porte de Versailles has been completely renovated, bringing it up to current fire safety standards, optimizing its spatial configurations, and bringing together functional spaces for the public and operators. From now on, visitor flows are perfectly clear and easy to follow, reception areas are welcoming, and shared service areas are grouped together (bars, restaurants, amenities, etc.). The floors and ceilings of Hall 7.3 have been transformed into smart technical supports for optimized commercial use. This impressive space has become a vast technical platform capable of offering multiple configurations, ranging from a large storage area to a spacious exhibition hall to the largest convention center in Europe with a capacity of 15,000 people. 1.5 km of soundproof movable partitions allow the space to be reconfigured into multiple distinct volumes. The volume of 7.3 can be subdivided into flexible but high-quality spaces, with meeting or conference rooms, event rooms, and even a vast plenary hall with 5,200 seats. The large internal circulation areas also become spaces for socializing and temporary exhibitions. This high degree of technical modularity offers freedom to customize the layout of the space for national and international conferences.
