Salon du Cheval de Paris 2026 at Porte de Versailles

The Salon du Cheval de Paris returns to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from 4 to 6 December 2026 as the flagship gathering for the French equestrian world. Over three days, Pavilions 4 and 6 welcome around 70,000 visitors who come to see more than 500 horses and ponies, 160 riders and 180 exhibitors across 35,000 sqm of floor space. The programme pairs top-level sport with live spectacle: the International Jumping is back at the heart of the show, with four classes per day and a warm-up day reserved for competitors. In the evening, the Nuits du Cheval stage two separate sessions on Friday and Saturday that blend equestrian performance and competition, ticketed independently. The venue is open from 9:00 to 21:00 on Friday and Saturday and from 9:00 to 18:00 on Sunday; general admission covers the show floor, while Saturday and Sunday Jumping classes require their own ticket. Alongside the arena, talks, demonstrations, the official shop and the exhibitor village make the visit worthwhile for trade buyers, enthusiasts and families alike. For travellers arriving from outside Paris, staying near Porte de Versailles avoids cross-city transfers on a busy weekend: Metro line 12 plus tram lines T2 and T3a link the venue to Montparnasse, Saint-Lazare and the rest of the capital within minutes.
