Over time, this fair has grown significantly, expanding across the Reuilly lawn and spilling into the surrounding streets and boulevards towards the Trône Gate. In 1957, it marked its thousandth year with celebrations by carnival workers. By 1964, the fair had found a new home on the edge of Vincennes Forest and continues to draw crowds every spring. Visitors of all ages come to enjoy the 350 rides spread across more than 10 hectares of the Reuilly grassland.

Sweet tooth enthusiasts gather around stalls offering candies like cotton candy, caramel apples, crêpes, marshmallows, and churros. True to tradition, the Foire du Trône 2026 lights up each year with a spectacular fireworks display in celebration of Labour Day.
