Foire de Paris 2020

The Paris Fair is a commercial event that has taken place every year in Paris since 1904. Imagined by Gustave Sandoz, jeweler, it is one of the largest and oldest of its kind.

Originally located at the Carreau du Temple, it now sits at the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Center in Paris, with an average of 600,000 visitors.

An unmissable trade fair which offers a wide choice of products in the world of housing, shopping and gastronomy. The different spaces in its universes are home & living, world crafts & culture, well-being, fashion & accessories, leisure & practical life and wine & gastronomy.

It offers rich and varied activities, including concerts, parades, workshops and demonstrations. Its motto: “consume better rather than consume more”, with an emphasis on innovation, creation and sustainable solutions. It is during the Paris Fair that the Lépine competition takes place which rewards the best inventions of the year.
The Lépine competition is a famous French invention competition created in 1901 by Louis Lépine, then police prefect of Paris. Initially called the "Paris Toys and Articles Exhibition", the competition became annual in 1902 and took the name "Lépine competition".
Given the audience and the number of daily visitors, it is particularly important to rent TV screens and HF speakers and microphones during the Paris Fair!
