The Must-Attend Event in Paris this October: The Ultimate Guide to the 2026 Paris Motor Show (Mondial de l'Auto)!

Dear Studio Paris 16 guests, welcome to romantic Paris!

If you are staying with us in mid-October, besides visiting the classic Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Élysées, we highly recommend a fascinating local event—the 2026 Paris Motor Show (Mondial de l'Auto)!

The exhibition takes place at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, located in the 15th arrondissement. It is right next to the 16th arrondissement where our studio is located. Whether you take the metro or bus, getting there from Studio Paris 16 is incredibly convenient. Whether you're a car enthusiast, a family looking for fun experiences, or friends looking for a great night out, you'll find plenty to do for a few action-packed hours.

🏎️ Highlight 1: Get Up Close with World-Class Supercars & Test Drive Them
In the (Un)Limited zone of Hall 7.1, you will have the chance to admire rare supercars up close, such as the Ferrari F80, Bugatti Chiron Sport, and Lamborghini Centenario Roadster.
Besides feasting your eyes, the motor show features a test drive center with over 90 models! You can book in advance to test drive your favorite new electric or hybrid vehicles, or even experience autonomous driving tech accompanied by a specialist.

🎮 Highlight 2: Cross-Over "Mario Kart" Fun
Attention guests traveling with kids or friends! This year's motor show is not just about cars; it's a playground for gamers too. The exhibition has specially introduced "Mario Kart World" on Nintendo Switch 2. You can play for free, challenge your family and friends to a thrilling race, and see who crosses the finish line first!

🎵 Highlight 3: A Trendy Party Vibe (DJs and Live Music)
During the show, the atmosphere will definitely get you moving to the beat. During the day, Radio FG DJs will be mixing live, along with strolling performances by the LGMX electro-brass band and musical shows aboard a vintage van.
If you want to experience Parisian nightlife, the exhibition will stay open late until 10 PM on Friday, October 16, and Saturday, October 17, featuring cool laser shows. After a long day of sightseeing, coming here to grab a drink, listen to music, and check out the cars is a perfect way to blend into the local Parisian lifestyle.
