The International Cultural Heritage Fair is a unique opportunity to discover our cultural heritage and those who keep it alive. This major event returns to the Carrousel du Louvre this weekend, from October 29 to November 1, 2026, for its 31st edition, inviting visitors to the heart of this singular heritage. This year the fair is organized around the theme "Heritage in Lights".

Founded over 30 years ago, the Salon International du Patrimoine Culturel has established itself as Europe's oldest and most important heritage trade show. Since its inception, it has become a must-attend event for all those involved in the restoration and preservation of built and non-built, tangible and intangible heritage.

Highly anticipated by professionals in charge of protecting and transmitting the richness of our culture, the show attracts over 300 exhibitors each year, from the arts and crafts to training organizations and local authorities. Testifying to the diversity of the players and the multiplicity of their skills, it is the occasion for numerous meetings and the sharing of experiences around heritage protection.

As every year, the fair shines a spotlight on young talents and the great artisans of tomorrow, with a special prize that rewards the “artistic quality and [la] technical mastery of a craft paired with an innovative outlook.

Organized by Ateliers d'Art de France, the show is an opportunity for professionals and the general public to meet and discuss the trades and issues surrounding cultural heritage. Other highlights include conferences, demonstrations and events, as well as a training center. Learn more about the world of heritage and arts and crafts.
