New for 2025: CSF will close at 6pm on Sunday.
This year, the show will be open for an extra hour on Sundays. This decision was widely acclaimed by our visitors: nearly 9 out of 10 expressed the wish to enjoy the show for longer
The aim of this change is twofold:
- Develop the flow of visitors on Sundays: closing at 5pm often discouraged afternoon arrivals, as visitors feared they would not have enough time to fully explore the show. This brings us into line with the standards of cultural venues and events for the general public, where 6pm closing time is the norm.
- Maximise your performance: this extra hour enables you to extend your sales activity, generate more contacts and sales, and thus optimise the return on investment from your participation.
By extending the show by an hour, we are offering our visitors a richer, more serene experience, while boosting the attractiveness and attendance of the last day of the show.

How is VAT reclaimed?
For all information and procedures concerning a VAT refund application, the exhibitor must apply to the tax authorities. The organiser does not manage this issue.
If the exhibitor is not subject to French VAT, the organiser will invoice exclusive of tax if he presents a valid VAT number or a business certificate (document issued by the government proving that he is a commercial company). The exhibitor is therefore in possession of his tax-free invoice and can make his claim.
