Salon de l'Etudiant Tours 2026: where to stay in Joué-lès-Tours

The Salon de l'Etudiant de Tours is the region's flagship student fair, held once a year for high-school pupils, undergraduates and anyone planning further study in the Centre-Val de Loire area. Over a single day, the venue welcomes universities, grandes écoles, vocational training centres, specialised schools and guidance services. Visitors can talk face to face with teachers, advisers and current students to clear up questions about programmes, admission requirements, scholarships, accommodation and career prospects. A programme of expert-led talks, workshops and one-to-one advice sessions runs alongside the stands, helping attendees shape a realistic study plan. It is also a chance to compare different routes — from BTS and BUT diplomas to preparatory classes, university degrees or business and engineering schools — in a friendly, free-of-charge setting. Pre-registration provides a personalised QR code and lets you plan your visit around the exhibitor list and floor plan. For those travelling to Tours from further afield, the venue in Joué-lès-Tours sits beside the exhibition park, with easy access by car and public transport from the city centre.
