Hotel Sophie Germain Fairs and Trade Shows

Paris is one of the prominent European capitals of culture and all forms of art. Thanks to the multitude of cultural and artistic events promised in the city’s summer programme, your holiday at the Hotel Sophie Germain will be filled with interest, fun and excitement! Among other high quality attractions and activities, we suggest that you discover interior decoration and design at its most artistic, courtesy of the Maison et Objet trade fair, or explore the fabulous flavours of world cuisine at the Festival of Gastronomy.

Still at the forefront of innovation, the Foire de Paris is a general purpose retail trade show that has been held every year since 1904. This year it takes place at the end of April and beginning of May. But before that we have Easter, an ideal time to get some shopping done, and there are no finer temples of retail action than the capital’s legendary department stores on the Left Bank.

October is on the way, bearing a big Parisian smile! As we glide gently into autumn, the capital presents various key trade fairs to catch your interest, and we would like to bring a couple of these to your attention. The Autumn Fair and the Paris Motor Show will, as usual, be bursting with innovative ideas and new trends.

At annual fairs such as the Salon du Livre in Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, or Art Paris Art Fair under the dome of the Grand Palais, it's essential to choose where to make the most of the events.
