Parc Chanot: trade fairs, congresses and the Marseille Fair
Parc Chanot houses the Palais des Congrès and Marseille’s exhibition halls: the International Fair in September, trade shows, competitions and exams all year round. The main entrance is at Rond-Point du Prado, the exhibitors’ access on the Boulevard Rabatau side.
Coming by train for a day at a trade show is common. The driver meets you at Saint-Charles and drops you at the right entrance, badge in hand, without the packed metro on opening days.
Can you drop me at the exhibitors’ entrance with equipment?
Yes. Tell us how many cases or roll-up banners you have; the 8-seat Van is advised for more than two bulky items.
Conference delegates by TGV
The large medical and professional congresses at the Palais des Congrès bring delegates from all over France by TGV. From Saint-Charles to Parc Chanot it is about ten minutes outside rush hour: the driver goes down Boulevard National or via La Plaine and Castellane, then up Avenue du Prado to the entrance matching your badge. For a group of speakers on the same train, a single 8-seat Van costs €50 for everyone.
Back to the station after closing
When a trade fair closes, the park exit and the Prado junction are jammed for nearly an hour. Book your return with your exact train time: the driver waits at an agreed point in front of the entrance you used in the morning and tracks your TGV in case of delay. Many delegates arrive on the first TGV and leave on the 6 pm one, so a return trip booked together guarantees arrival at opening and being on the platform on time.
Galas at the Palais des Événements
Parc Chanot also hosts gala evenings, award ceremonies and shows with late finishes. If you arrive in evening dress on a late train, the driver meets you on the platform, drops you at the guest entrance, then takes you to your hotel or the last train.
