Activities, tastings, and meetings: come and enjoy a unique experience at the heart of the agricultural world.
MIDWAY THROUGH, THE PARIS INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW CONFIRMS ITS APPEAL AND STILL HOLDS MANY SURPRISES!
Midway through, the trend is looking good for the Paris International Agricultural Show (SIA)! On February 26, with four days left to visit the major agricultural event at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, France’s premier trade show is once again enjoying the serenity of its best days.
This positive trend aligns with the French Agriculture Week. The 61st edition of the show offers a high-quality experience for all audiences—whether private visitors or officials, families or solo attendees, rural or urban dwellers, young or senior visitors. The grand opening on Saturday, February 22, set the tone for this peaceful edition, offering a welcome pause in everyone’s schedule. The series of political visits has reaffirmed both individual and collective respect. This year, for the first time, a charter has defined the rights and responsibilities of official delegations.
More a place for debate than confrontation, the 61st SIA still has much to offer in the coming days. Beyond the must-see attractions—meeting Oupette, the beautiful Limousin cow and mascot of the show; exploring the General Agricultural Competition for products, wines, and livestock; immersing oneself in Moroccan culture in the pavilion of this year's guest country—the show promises even more surprises for families, couples, and children, whether from agricultural backgrounds or not.
Across nine pavilions and 16 hectares, farmers and agricultural professionals will continue to cultivate visitors' pride and elevate their appreciation for the industry through unique and engaging activities.

"At a time when morale in France is not at its highest, the Paris International Agricultural Show remains a sure bet—an assured moment of conviviality, a time for sharing, a space for dialogue and understanding. Visiting the show means supporting the men and women who shape agriculture, balancing tradition and modernity. Our agriculture serves the country, and the French people support it—and must continue to do so. Meeting a farmer at the show is an opportunity to understand what we eat today and what we will eat tomorrow."
