What Is Comic Con?
Comic Con, short for Comic Book Convention, is a popular event born in San Diego in 1970. Initially devoted to comics, the festival has since expanded to include other popular art forms such as films, TV series, video games, and more.
Attracting thousands of participants, often in costume (cosplay), every Comic Con celebrates creativity and imagination in a festive, immersive atmosphere. It's an opportunity for fans to meet artists, actors and experts in the field, and to enjoy a wide range of events (sales stands, art exhibitions, book signings, conferences, etc.).
Where Is the Biggest Comic Con?
Today, while San Diego remains the largest Comic Con festival, local events have emerged all over the world, including Comic Con Paris!
Formerly known as Kultima, Comic Con Paris was created in 2007 to promote imagination, comics, science fiction and all forms of popular art in the City of Light.

Are you a citizen of a country outside the EU and Schengen Area? To enter the Schengen Area and France, you must have a valid passport and, depending on your country of origin, a Schengen visa. See which countries need a Schengen visa here.
Do you need a Schengen visa? Go to the official France-visas website for the information you will need and to start your Schengen visa application.

You don't need a Schengen visa? You can travel within the Schengen Area with a passport issued less than 10 years ago and valid for at least 90 days from your expected return date. The border police may also ask you for other documents. Please check with the French Embassy in your country for further information.
