the exhibition center

The show is taking place at La Halle Tony Garnier located 17 avenue Tony Garnier, 69007 Lyon.

The chosen location – Hall Tony Garnier – could not be better located for a Paddle Sports Trade Show with the exhibition center only 250 meters from the river RhĂ´ne.

Located downtown with direct flights from anywhere in Europe and the world.

With the airport less than a 30-minute drive from the show, a train station three tram stops away, and a tram stop on the show’s doorstep, this is a “green” show. Once you reach Lyon, there is no need to use a car. From the river to the hall to the city center, it is all in one place!
