Salut Jean-Marc,
I read that the organisator would probably change the date of the convention in january. Is this really a good idea? For my opinion, every changment for a convention ( date and place ) reduce the impact on the sellers and buyers. I've seen a difference by changing the date of the paris convention from January to september. now that everyone reserve the last week-end of septembre for the paris convention, why put it in januray again? Overmore, january is a very bad month. If the Paris convention was in january 2013, I didn't go there because it was a snowy weather! In spetember, the weather is even better than january.
So, I think that changing the date of the Paris convention is like killing the convention!

There is a train from Paris (gare, gare means station, Paris Saint-Lazare) to Argenteuil (gare d'Argenteuil) which takes about 10 minutes. I personnaly always combine my visit to Argenteuil with a stay at Paris (I did the same when I went to the BFCC in London). The last years, there were less dealers so less to see and less time to spend (it was easy to stay two whole days about ten years ago with all the materil dispayed to admire) as there are less projections (not like at the BFCC). One year is not the same as the preceeding one so you never know what you will found. Last year, event if it has shrinked, there was still a lot to buy, so try to save on accomodation ;-) If you go there, you will more than probably see the stand from the shop "La bande des cinés". This shop is located in Paris (http://www.bd-cine.com/index.php) and is a kind of Ali Baba's cave. Try to visit it (open from Tuesday to Saturday from 1.30 pm to 7pm). They have lots of films and material in their shop (more than what you see on their website). Remember that the soonest you book the train from England to Paris, the cheaper it will be (they start to sell the tickets, if I am not mistaking, three months before the travelling date).
