And if you are planning to visit one of these events and looking for an accommodation, it is better to book yours now. These shows are the highlights of the month! The typical solution is to book a hotel room near the Porte de Versailles, but if you are more than 2 people, think about the option to book an apartment, more friendly, comfortable AND economical.
