From autumn to the end of winter, three major fairs bring visitors from all over the world to Paris. Here are the dates announced by the organisers, the venues, and the easiest way to get there.
Salon du Chocolat (Chocolate and Pastry Fair)
- Dates: Wednesday 28 October to Sunday 1 November 2026, 10 am to 7 pm (opening night on the evening of Tuesday 27 October).
- Venue: Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Pavilion 5, 15th arrondissement.
The chocolate and pastry fair is very busy during the French autumn school holidays. At weekends the area around Porte de Versailles is crowded: get dropped off as close to the entrance as possible and agree on a pick-up point for the way back.
Maison&Objet
- Announced dates: Thursday 14 to Monday 18 January 2027.
- Venue: Paris Nord Villepinte.
The international home décor and design fair is for professionals only. Villepinte is about ten minutes from Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, so a chauffeur can take a flying visitor airport → fair → hotel in Paris on the same day. The dates are listed by several trade calendars; check them on the Maison&Objet website before booking your trip.
Paris International Agricultural Show
- Dates: Saturday 27 February to Sunday 7 March 2027, 9 am to 7 pm.
- Venue: Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
One of the most visited fairs in France. The first days and weekends are extremely busy: arrive early in the morning.
