The Salon International de l'Agriculture 2027 opens on Saturday, February 27 and closes on Sunday, March 7, 2027, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. These are the dates announced by the organiser on the show's official website. We are at 5 avenue Duquesne, in the 7th: Porte de Versailles is on the same bank as us, further south, in the 15th. It is one of the rare major winter trade fairs where you don't have to cross Paris.
Dates for the Salon de l'agriculture 2027
The show runs for nine days, from Saturday, February 27 to Sunday, March 7, 2027. It therefore spans two weekends, which matters when planning your visit: Saturdays and Sundays draw families, while weekdays are quieter. For the record, the 2026 edition welcomed 437,402 visitors according to figures published by the organiser. If you can choose, we recommend a weekday, arriving at opening time.
Opening hours for 2027 are published on the official website, under the Practical info section. We are not reproducing them here as long as they are not confirmed for this edition.
What to see at the show in 2027
The show is organised into four worlds, and this is the best way to prepare your visit:
- Livestock and its sectors: the animals, with the Concours Général Agricole. The 2026 edition featured 3,500 of them. This is the heart of the show, and what children come to see.
- Products and flavours of France, its Overseas Territories and the World: the regions and their specialities, to taste on site. Come with a bit of an appetite rather than right after lunch.
- Crops and plant sectors, garden and vegetable patch: plants, seeds, the kitchen garden. Quieter than the animal hall.
- Services and agricultural professions: setting up, training, cooperatives. This is the world for professionals and students.
Serbia is the guest country of honour in 2027, after Côte d'Ivoire in 2026. The show also presents its mascot cow every year: for 2027, the organiser has introduced its breeders, Nicolas and Samuel. Professionals have access to a dedicated pass, the SIA'PRO Pass, to be ordered on the show's website.
How to get to Porte de Versailles from avenue Duquesne
You go by metro and tram, without changing banks. The nearest station to us is École Militaire, on line 8. A simple route: line 8 to its terminus Balard, then tram T3a to the Porte de Versailles stop. The exhibition centre is also served by line 12, Porte de Versailles station. Check your route on the day on the RATP app, especially at weekends when works may alter the service.
For our part, we recommend leaving early. The show is at its quietest in the first hour, and you will be back in the 7th by late afternoon, before families head out.
Our tip for a family visit
Start with the animals, finish with the products. The livestock halls are busiest in the middle of the day: at opening time, you can see the animals without jostling. The tasting stands, on the other hand, are better suited to late morning. Bring good shoes, the grounds are vast, and buy your ticket online to avoid the queue at the ticket offices.
On your return, the Champ de Mars is a few minutes from us if the children still have energy. And for dinner, our addresses on rue Cler and rue Saint-Dominique are on our dedicated page.
Sleeping in the 7th during the show
We are at 5 avenue Duquesne, between Les Invalides and the Champ de Mars. Check-in is from 3:00 pm and check-out at 11:00 am, which leaves time for a morning at the show on the day of departure if you leave your luggage. In the morning, breakfast is served in our breakfast room, and our bar awaits you on your return. As the show spans two weekends, check our availability early on the booking page.
