Passionate about photography and video, this fair is tailor-made for you! Whether you shoot your art with a smartphone, the latest camera, or even a disposable one, amateur or professional, you’re welcome at the Photo & Video Show, the major annual gathering this fall at the Grande Halle de la Villette.

After a decade of meetings and discoveries, the Photo Show has chosen to redefine itself to better align with the practices of enthusiasts and professionals alike. Vlogs, short films, sketches — video has become a mainstay and a democratized form of creative expression over recent years. Today, the Photo & Video fair highlights not only photography but also the art of videography.

For this 2026 edition, we’re set to gather from Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 October, to enjoy an event dedicated to photography and video. Since its creation in 2007, this artistic gathering has become the premier meeting place bringing together professionals, enthusiasts, major photography brands, photo agencies, schools, vendors, and artists year after year... This event isn’t just a place to discover and test the latest technical innovations from brands, it’s also an opportunity to learn more about the world of photography, to make connections, and to live a one-of-a-kind experience.

The Photo & Video Show offers a wealth of meetings, lectures, workshops and training courses for amateurs and professionals alike, to explore the varied techniques and facets of this world. It also features an awards ceremony, exhibitions, and artistic presentations around a special theme... Here are a few must-attend sessions at the show.

• The Grand Exhibition: “200 Years Behind the Lens. Cameras: 1826-2026”
  To mark the bicentenary, the Photo & Video Show teams up with the Nicéphore Niépce Museum to tell two centuries of invention through antique cameras, collectible pieces, and period prints. The Grand Exhibition invites visitors to view a replica of the famous “View from the Grass” (1827), considered the first known photograph, before tracing the saga from the daguerreotype and collodion to silver-based photography and the digital revolution. An immersive experience with Marjolaine Vuarnesson’s Studio Collodion: a daily demonstration at 11 a.m. and workshops offered throughout the day to discover one of the 19th century’s most captivating photographic processes. Also on display is the first public presentation of The Bicentennial Chest. This time capsule dedicated to photography aims to preserve a moment in time and pass on a cultural record of the bicentennial year to future generations, and it will be kept for twelve years at the Nicéphore Niépce Museum before being reopened in 2039.
