Animotions Show in Orléans 2027: minerals, fossils and gems

The Animotions Show in Orléans brings together international exhibitors specialising in minerals, fossils, crystals and gemstones, alongside designer jewellery, handicrafts, collectables, gifts, souvenirs and home decoration. It has become a key date for mineralogy enthusiasts, collectors and anyone curious about natural specimens and one-of-a-kind pieces. Across the weekend, the fair combines exhibition and direct sales with expert appraisal sessions, talks and workshops that dig deeper into minerals and fossils. Visitors can browse fossils from around the world, crystal healing pieces and high-quality handcrafted work, all under one roof. The event takes place at the Gymnase Marie-Amélie-Le-Fur in Saint-Jean-le-Blanc, just outside Orléans. Animotions has been touring France for years with its shows and large-scale exhibitions, building a format that appeals to trade visitors, families and hobbyists alike. If you are planning to attend, book your hotel in Orléans or nearby Saint-Jean-le-Blanc early: the show weekend drives strong demand for rooms across the area.
