Rennes Grandes Écoles Student Fair 2026

Held once a year in Rennes, this fair brings together grandes écoles, preparatory classes and specialised institutions under one roof for a single day of orientation. It is aimed at sixth-form students, undergraduates and families weighing up selective higher-education paths, and gives them the chance to compare business and engineering schools, review entry requirements and understand where each course can lead. The 2026 edition takes place on Saturday 14 November, from 9am to 5pm, in Halls 2 and 3 of Rennes Parc Expo. Alongside the exhibition stands, L'Etudiant journalists and guidance specialists run talks and workshops on Parcoursup, work-study routes, prépas and business schools. Entry to the talks is free and no booking is needed. Visitors must register in advance to attend; registration is free and each invitation is personal. The exhibitor list and interactive floor plan go live in the weeks leading up to the event, so it is worth planning your route beforehand. For those travelling in from outside Rennes, the venue sits in Bruz next to the airport, making it straightforward to book a hotel near the fairground and reach it by car or public transport.
