Foire de Chatou: Paris’ Renowned Antique Fair Returns

The Foire de Chatou takes place twice a year, in the spring and fall, on the Île des Impressionnistes, which is accessible by metro or a 10-minute drive from Paris. In this one of the world’s most important and celebrated antique fairs, 700 dealers with a diverse range of specialties gather to exhibit over 10 days, resulting in a nearly 10-acre stretch of treasures to be discovered.

In addition to décor, the fair provides an opportunity to refuel with culinary delights from local farmers like Corsican sausages, Brittany oysters, Savoy cheese, and more. This year marks the fair’s 105th edition taking place from March 8 to 17, 2024.

If you’re planning a trip to Paris and want to find the best antiques, make time to attend this must-see event for antique dealers and art galleries. With a covered area of 21,000 square meters, the Foire de Chatou attracts between 25,000 and 30,000 visitors per year. The event has evolved into a true ritual for enthusiasts, a walk full of surprises for beginners, and an excellent family outing for those who are simply curious. There is no shortage of opportunities!
