The 2026 Antique & Modern Cookbook Fair in Paris

Food enthusiasts passionate about both modern recipes and classics, mark your calendars for June 13 and 14, 2026! The Old & Modern Cookbook Fair is taking place right in the heart of the Book Market, at the Georges Brassens Park. As part of its 4th edition, and always free and open to the public, this event will feature 50 authors—accompanied by chefs, speakers, and culinary enthusiasts—coming together for two days to celebrate the art of gastronomy.

With François-Régis Gaudry, this year's patron of the fair, the ACE15 association, the Paris Book Fair, Le Divan bookstore, and Éditions de L’Épure are all eager to welcome you warmly. They invite you to gather in this historic former horse market, now recognized as part of the cultural heritage of Paris.

Enthusiasts and neophytes alike will be able to discover a diverse and varied collection of works: essays, practical works, chefs' books, regional books, world cookery books, rare books, children's books, as well as an important collection of works dating from the 19th and 20th centuries - illustrated treasures, vintage magazines, recipe books and manuscripts.
