Paris Video Game and Animation Cinema Fair 2026

Hosted at the Espace Champerret, the Paris Video Game and Animation Cinema Fair is L'Etudiant's yearly gathering for anyone weighing up a future in the creative industries. Schools, universities and specialist training centres set up stands covering game design, 3D, VFX, animation and interactive storytelling. Throughout the day visitors can compare course structures, ask about admission requirements and pick up practical tips for building a Parcoursup application. Talks and workshops run by L'Etudiant journalists look at everything from animation studios to the roles most in demand across the gaming sector. Run in partnership with the Région académique Île-de-France and the Région Île-de-France, the fair blends exhibitor stands, expert Q&A sessions and first-hand accounts from young professionals already working in the field. A convenient date if you're booking accommodation in Paris's 17th arrondissement around the event.
