Concours Général Agricole 2027 in Paris

For over 150 years, the Concours Général Agricole has been the benchmark for French farming excellence. Every edition draws thousands of growers, winemakers and breeders to Paris to compete for the coveted gold, silver and bronze medals — a mark trusted worldwide by shoppers and food professionals alike. Five main tracks structure the event: regional food products, wines, breeding animals, agroecological practices and young professionals. Across the fairgrounds you'll find tasting panels, livestock judging and producer showcases, while visitors get a hands-on look at the biodiversity and know-how behind French agriculture. Because it runs alongside the Salon International de l'Agriculture, footfall is huge and hotel demand in south-west Paris spikes for the whole week. Booking a room near Porte de Versailles early is the easiest way to attend without long daily commutes.
