Located in the heart of Vincennes, the Best Western Saint Louis brings these advantages together for a comfortable business stay near Paris.

Business events in September 2026

September is one of the busiest periods of the year for professional events. Business travel resumes, calendars fill up and hotels near major venues are often booked several weeks in advance.

Among the confirmed events, the Paris Coffee Show will take place from 12 to 14 September 2026 at the Parc Floral de Paris. Open to trade professionals, the event will bring together key players from the coffee industry to explore new products, market trends and specialist expertise.

A few days later, on 18 and 19 September 2026, the 37th SICAC Paris Knife Show will welcome collectors, knifemakers and industry professionals to Espace Charenton in Paris’s 12th arrondissement.

Whether you are attending one of these events, organising a seminar or scheduling several meetings across Paris, choosing the right location can make your stay considerably easier. Our guide to Vincennes and its main attractions will help you locate the hotel, nearby transport links and places to visit during your stay.

Walk to the Parc Floral from Vincennes

Set within the Bois de Vincennes, the Parc Floral de Paris hosts trade shows, conventions, conferences and receptions throughout the year. Its convention centre and the Pavillon Chesnaie du Roy make it one of the leading event venues in eastern Paris.

The Parc Floral is approximately a 10- to 15-minute walk from the Best Western Saint Louis. This proximity allows guests to begin the day without changing trains or waiting for public transport. It also makes returning to the hotel easier after a full day of conferences and professional meetings.

Staying in Vincennes means remaining close to the venue while enjoying a calmer environment at the end of the day. Further practical information can be found in our guide to staying near the Parc Floral de Paris.

Organise a meeting at the hotel

September is not only about major trade shows. It also marks the return of training sessions, team meetings, workshops and executive committees.

The Best Western Saint Louis has a naturally lit 46 sqm meeting room that can accommodate up to 30 people. It can be arranged in classroom, theatre or U-shaped layouts depending on the format of the event. A separate lounge area can also be privately booked for smaller or more informal meetings.

The room is equipped with air conditioning, free fibre-optic Wi-Fi, a video projector, an overhead projector and flip charts. Mineral water is also provided.

Room hire conditions and catering options are available upon request. The page dedicated to the hotel’s services and meeting room provides further information about the available layouts and equipment.

Travel easily to Paris and its business districts

The Best Western Saint Louis is only a few minutes’ walk from Château de Vincennes, the eastern terminus of Metro Line 1. The line provides direct access to Gare de Lyon, Châtelet, the Louvre, the Champs-Élysées and La Défense without any changes.

As a guide, the journey takes approximately 10 minutes to Gare de Lyon, 16 to 17 minutes to Châtelet and 36 minutes to La Défense, excluding waiting times and possible service disruptions.

Vincennes station, served by the RER A, provides another convenient way to reach central Paris and several major business hubs across the Île-de-France region.

These two transport options make it easy to adapt each journey to the day’s schedule. Further details can be found on the hotel’s location and directions page.
