The Salon de l'Agriculture returns to Paris from February 22 to March 2, 2025. A not-to-be-missed event for families, this gathering of goats, sheep, rabbits and animals of all kinds also offers a wealth of entertainment for children.

If there's one show in Paris not to be missed, it's the Salon de l'Agriculture. Here you'll find a veritable giant farm, with thousands of cows, goats, pigs, horses and rabbits. Kids love it.

There are 4 distinct areas in this enormous labyrinth:

  • A showcase for livestock breeding and its different sectors, where you'll find the most beautiful representative animals that children love so much. Nearly 330 representative breeds will surprise you. From rabbits and pigs to dogs and ponies, children will have plenty to do with the more than 3,850 animals on show.
  • This is whereyou'll find gastronomy from near and far, transporting you not only to the heart of France's terroir, but also to that of the world. You'll discover a host of flavoursome events and plenty of food for a gourmet break. Come and enjoy a giant market in this unique setting. A feast for your eyes and your taste buds. What's more, you'll be able to drop off your purchases in a left-luggage office, so you can keep on running after your children.
  • This isthe place to come for a breath of fresh air. Here, you'll discover major crops and new ideas for landscaping your garden or cultivating your vegetable patch. It's a great place to spark ideas and discover new trends.
  • And finally, the agricultural services and professions section, where you'll find the main players in the world of agriculture (ministries, professional agricultural organizations, training bodies, research, environment, etc.) to help you understand the agricultural world of today and tomorrow.

It's no secret that the Salon de l'Agriculture loves families, and every year there's a special family welcome in Pavilion 4. Come and pick up your kit for a perfect, carefree visit. Filled with goodies, a children's wristband and a special map to help you find the kids' areas and nursery, this kit will be indispensable.

These free identification bracelets are a real help. We write down the name of our monster and our telephone number. Having lost my kids several times last year, captivated by the animals and animations, I can confirm that this bracelet can be a great help.

Special children's trails are also open to families, so they don't get lost in the vastness of the show. Find out more on the official website.
