Every Hall, Hotel and Showroom, on One Route
Chauffeur-driven transport for Maison & Objet at Paris Nord Villepinte: buyers, exhibitors and press between the halls, the hotels and the showrooms, with vans on hand for samples and catalogues.
The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
A Maison & Objet chauffeur service in Paris is private, chauffeur-driven transport for the international design and decoration fair, held twice a year at Paris Nord Villepinte. It carries buyers, exhibitors, editors and press between the exhibition halls, the hotels, the Paris showrooms and the airports at Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget. Maison & Objet is intense days spent walking a vast site and moving on to appointments across the city, often with samples and catalogues to carry, so the value is in the timing and the space: a chauffeur who knows the approach to Villepinte, a van for what a buyer collects, and one contact holding a schedule that runs from the halls to the showrooms and back. The result is a fair worked in full, without the transport getting in the way of the appointments.

Who we serve
For Those Who Work the Fair in Full
Maison & Objet is a long site and a full diary: a stand at Villepinte, appointments at showrooms across Paris, buyers flying in for two days, and samples to move. We carry exhibitors, buyers and press between it all, with a van for what they collect, arranged directly with a team or through the people who organise the visit. We work most closely with four profiles.
Exhibitors & Corporate Teams
A ground partner for the team running a stand and a diary: cars between Villepinte, the hotels and the showrooms, a van for samples and displays, and one contact holding the schedule, so the team works the fair rather than the traffic.
International Buyers & DMCs
A reliable local partner for buyers flying in for the fair: arrivals met at the airports, multilingual chauffeurs, transfers to Villepinte and the showrooms, and a van for catalogues and samples, with white-label discretion that reduces your operational risk.
Event Planners & MICE Agencies
A scalable partner for a client presence at Maison & Objet: airport arrivals, delegate convoys, on-site coordination and reporting, with the capacity to flex as a busy programme shifts across the days.
Executive Assistants & C-Level
A no-drama partner for a principal with a full fair diary: a car between the halls and the showrooms, discreet transport for meetings, live tracking and one point of contact, so the day is kept without a thought for logistics.
From the arrival to the last appointment, every journey around Maison & Objet is below, timed to your diary and coordinated from one contact. The fair is one date in a full Paris season, and the same team looks after the rest of it. For the wider programme see our events chauffeur service and our chauffeur by the hour.
Hotel to Villepinte
Transfers to Paris Nord Villepinte timed around the opening and the peak, taking the cleanest approach when the fair arrives at once.
Halls to Showrooms
A car between the exhibition halls and the Paris showrooms, so a diary of appointments across the city is kept without a taxi rank between each stop.
Vans for Samples & Catalogues
A van on hand for the samples, displays and catalogues a buyer or exhibitor collects, so nothing is left to a courier or a crowded car.
Airport & Station Arrivals
Buyers and delegations met at Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget and brought to their hotels, with a chauffeur who waits for a delayed flight.
Chauffeur by the Day
A car and chauffeur at your disposal across the fair, for the halls, the showrooms and the dinners, without rebooking each leg.
Delegation Convoys
Cars and vans for a delegation, staged so a group moves together between Villepinte and the city, with one contact holding the transfers.
The DBS Difference
What Working Maison & Objet Asks For
The buying is the easy part. The challenge is a vast site out at Villepinte, a diary of showroom appointments across Paris, and samples to carry. We time the car to the diary, put a van on hand, and hold the schedule from one contact, so the fair is worked in full.
Villepinte Knowledge
Chauffeurs who know the approach and the drop-off at Paris Nord Villepinte when the fair converges, so you arrive close to the hall and unhurried.
A Van on Hand
A van for the samples, displays and catalogues a buyer collects, so the day is not limited by what fits in a car.
Halls-to-City Timing
A car between Villepinte and the Paris showrooms planned around a diary that moves, so appointments across the city are kept without a wait.
International Arrivals
Buyers met at the airports with multilingual chauffeurs, so guests flying in for the fair are expected and at ease from the first pickup.

In practice
How DBS EXPERIENCE Works in Real Life
A Buyer's Two Days
A buyer flies in for Maison & Objet with appointments at Villepinte and showrooms across Paris. We meet the arrival at Charles de Gaulle, keep a car between the halls and the city, and add a van for the samples collected, so two intense days are worked without a courier or a wait.
An Exhibitor's Stand Team
A brand runs a stand and hosts clients through the fair. We provide cars for the team, a van for displays and catalogues, and airport arrivals for visiting buyers, with one contact and a consolidated invoice, so the team works the fair rather than the logistics.
An International Delegation
A DMC brings a delegation of buyers from abroad. We meet the arrivals across two days, place multilingual chauffeurs, and run convoys between the hotel, Villepinte and the showrooms, so a group that does not know the city moves together and on time.

À chaque arrivée de nos dirigeants à Paris, le chauffeur est déjà là quand ils passent la douane. Les vols bougent, la prise en charge ne bouge jamais. Cela retire la seule variable que nous ne maîtrisons pas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you arrange a car at short notice during Maison & Objet?
Yes. The fair is one of the busier weeks of the Paris calendar and we hold capacity for it. With 25-plus vehicles, 30-plus chauffeurs and a 24/7 desk answering within the hour, we arrange a car for a single day or the whole fair, and add a van or a vehicle for an extra buyer without unsettling the rest of your schedule.
How do you handle the access and drop-off at Paris Nord Villepinte?
Villepinte is busy and spread out during the fair, with heavy approaches and controlled drop-off. We know the approved points and the cleanest routes in, brief the chauffeur on the day, and agree where you are set down, so you arrive close to the hall and unhurried rather than caught in the queue at the gate.
Can you carry samples, displays and catalogues?
Yes. A van is on hand for the samples, displays and catalogues a buyer or exhibitor collects at the fair, so the day is not limited by what fits in a car and nothing is left to a courier. The van moves with your schedule, from the halls to the showrooms and the hotel.
Do you offer electric or hybrid vehicles for Maison & Objet transport?
Yes. Hybrid and electric options are available on request within our fleet of 25-plus vehicles, where the routes allow, so a day at the fair can be arranged with a lighter footprint while keeping an executive standard across the diary.
Can you keep a car with a buyer for a full day between the halls and the showrooms?
Yes, and it is the heart of this service. We place a car and chauffeur at your disposal for the day, so a diary of appointments from Villepinte to the Paris showrooms is kept without rebooking each leg or finding a taxi between stops. A van follows for samples, and one contact holds the schedule and adjusts it live as appointments move.
