European Education Fair 2026 in Paris: where to stay

The Salon Européen de l'Éducation brings together France's largest student guidance offer at Porte de Versailles. It is where students, families and schools meet to plan the next steps in education and careers. The 2026 edition runs from 4 to 6 December in Pavilion 7.2 of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Over three days, visitors can browse stands from universities, business schools, engineering schools, vocational training centres and guidance organisations. Free talks hosted by L'Etudiant journalists cover Parcoursup, apprenticeships, prep courses and future-oriented careers. There are also guidance tests and practical guides to help with study choices. The exhibitor list goes live online a few weeks before the show. Because visitor numbers are high, staying around Porte de Versailles or central Paris makes it easier to combine the fair with other plans in the city.
