Foire de Rouen 2025

Discover a place for the latest news and trends in housing, interior and exterior design, global arts, local artisans, top-quality local products, and more. Shopping, dining, and entertainment: everything is organized on-site for a delightful experience with friends or family!

The Foire de Rouen is an international fair, first organized in 1803. Over time, it evolved from a primarily commercial event into a large-scale public fair featuring exhibitions, entertainment, and cultural attractions. Traditionally held in the spring, the fair has grown to include several industries, presenting local and international products, innovations, and regional gastronomy. It has expanded to a festive gathering with amusement rides, concerts, and themed events.

Each year, the fair spotlights one country. In 2025, Canada will be the guest of honor at the Foire de Rouen. This aspect of the event will offer a unique cultural experience that highlights Canadian and Québécois heritage.

This is a great reason to visit France in spring! The Foire de Rouen will take place from March 28 to April 6 at the Parc des Expositions de Rouen.
