Nice International Fair 2027: where to stay in Nice

The Nice International Fair (Foire Internationale de Nice) is the French Riviera's flagship consumer and trade gathering. First held in 1935, it takes over the Palais des Expositions every spring, turning thousands of square metres into a showcase for home improvement, food, interiors, motoring, wellness, travel and regional crafts. The fair is divided into thematic universes that guide visitors through renovation solutions, decoration ideas, leisure activities and local services. It works both as a direct-to-consumer sales platform and as a meeting point for brands, resellers and regional trade professionals. Recent editions welcomed more than 80,000 visitors and over 400 exhibiting companies and brands. The upcoming edition is currently in the exhibitor and partner sales phase, with the programme, theme and ticketing to be confirmed closer to the event. For travellers, the fair is a good reason to stay in central Nice or in the neighbourhoods around the exhibition centre, all well connected by tram and within walking distance of Nice Riquier station.
