Salon du Cheval de Bordeaux 2027: where to stay in Bordeaux

The Salon du Cheval de Bordeaux is the flagship equestrian gathering in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, held each year at the Parc des expositions de Bordeaux-Lac. Breeders, saddlers, equipment brands and industry professionals come together around horse culture, mixing traditional craftsmanship with the latest technology for horse welfare and everyday riding. It runs alongside the Jumping International de Bordeaux, one of the most prestigious indoor show jumping competitions in Europe, so visitors can pair the trade floor with top-level sport and live performances. Expect stands with gear and equipment, breed presentations, demonstrations and hands-on activities aimed at both casual riders and professionals. Because it takes place in winter, the fair works well as a weekend trip for families and horse lovers. The venue sits by the Bordeaux-Lac lake and is easy to reach from the city centre by tram or car, which makes staying in a hotel near the Parc des expositions a practical choice for the four days of the show.
