Grand Salon de la Généalogie 2027 in Paris

The Grand Salon de la Généalogie is France's flagship annual gathering for anyone passionate about family history. Hosted by the Archives & Culture association at the Mairie du 15e arrondissement in Paris, the fair brings together archivists, genealogists, specialist publishers and heritage societies over three days. The event welcomes both curious newcomers taking their first steps into genealogical research and experienced genealogists looking for methods, sources and tools to expand their family trees. Genealogy ranks third among France's most popular pastimes, behind gardening and DIY. The fair combines exhibitor stands, talks, hands-on workshops and research corners to help visitors discover and make the most of civil, parish and notarial records. It is also a chance to meet fellow researchers and tap into specialist resources. If you plan to attend, staying around the 15th arrondissement puts you within walking distance of the venue and lets you enjoy a Parisian weekend among exhibitions, archives and specialist bookshops.
