The International Agricultural Show, one of the most prestigious professional fairs in the world, will open its doors on February 22 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. This new edition of the show will feature Oupette, a Limousin breed cow, chosen as the event's mascot by her owner Alexandre, who noticed an unusual little tuft of hair on her head right at birth. Located just a few steps from the Hôtel Moderniste, this major show will welcome over a thousand exhibitors, including farmers, breeders, agricultural sectors, winemakers, and actors of the agricultural world, who have come from all corners of the globe to present their local products and innovations.
Visitors to the show will be able to explore pavilions dedicated to different animal breeds, participate in gastronomic tastings, attend agricultural demonstrations, and discover solutions for sustainable agriculture. A general agricultural competition, showcasing the expertise of young farmers, will be held to reward the best French productions.
Additionally, a space dedicated to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will allow for discussions on sector challenges. In parallel, numerous animations and conferences will take place, addressing a variety of topics, from agroecological transition to the impact of glyphosate on crops. The gastronomy pavilion will offer a unique immersion in the French terroirs, where visitors will be able to taste products awarded at the Concours Général Agricole.
To ease access, several public transportation options will be available, including tram, metro, and shuttles dedicated to the Paris exhibition park. For Hôtel Moderniste guests, there is no need for transport—just a short 5-minute walk will take you directly to the show!
Both professional visitors and the general public can now reserve their free invitations and consult the show's layout on the official website.
