The Salon de l'Agriculture 2026 returns with official dates confirmed for the capital.

The 2026 edition of the Salon International de l'Agriculture traditionally takes place during the February vacation period, giving families in Paris and the Paris region the opportunity to discover the world of French agriculture. The event, organized by CENECA (Centre national des expositions et concours agricoles) in partnership with Comexposium, maintains its position as a benchmark event in the European agricultural sector.

The event brings together over 1,000 breeders from all regions of France, presenting nearly 4,000 animals representing the diversity of French breeding. The organizers are expecting over 600,000 visitors, confirming the continuing appeal of this not-to-be-missed event. The 2025 edition recorded 607,503 visitors, up 0.64% on the previous year.

The 2026 theme revolves around "Generations Solutions", highlighting farmers and local initiatives that are building a more sustainable and innovative agriculture. This approach reflects the current concerns of the French agricultural sector in the face of environmental and societal challenges.

The official mascot of the Salon de l'Agriculture 2026 will be a Brahman cow from Martinique, representing the diversity of France's overseas territories. Every year, this mascot tradition highlights a specific breed and its terroir of origin.
