Antiques and decorative arts regain public visibility in dedicated fairs. Foire Internationale de Chatou 2026 takes place from 25 September to 4 October in Chatou and arrives as the 111th edition with 320 exhibitors and nearly 30,000 visitors.
Practical information for the September edition
The fair welcomes the public from 10 am to 7 pm at Île des Impressionnistes. The professional market day is scheduled for Thursday 24 September with access from 8 am for trade visitors and press accreditation from 11 am.
Tickets and the site map can be downloaded from the official website. The organiser publishes exhibitor documents and regional product registration files in the PRO AREA section.
Who exhibits and who attends
The fair is organised by SNCAO-GA and hosts professionals who are members of the union. That selection ensures authenticated merchandise and on-site experts offering free appraisals.
Exhibitors include antique dealers, art galleries, collectibles sellers and gourmet producers. The mix attracts private buyers searching for unique pieces and trade buyers from home decor and hospitality sectors.
Program highlights and on-site services
The schedule features a dedicated pro day on 24 September and an on-site culinary offer with restaurants and producers showcasing French specialties. The event website provides a poster, a downloadable map and videos that help assess the aisles in advance.
The Authenticity Quality label and exhibitor documentation streamline admissions and the presentation of lots.
Commercial prospecting and tactical advice
Download the exhibitor list and the map before you travel. Plan routes by theme and prioritise booths where tasters or appraisers are available, since immediate valuations accelerate deals.
Use the professional day on 24 September to inspect stock early and negotiate commercial terms. Prepare digital inventories with references and images to match items on site. Sellers should bring dossiers with certificates and high-resolution photos to demonstrate provenance to trade buyers.
Hospitality buyers should identify gourmet producers in the exhibitor list and arrange tasting slots; the fair combines gastronomic stands and dining points that enable procurement tests.
Numbers and assurances
The edition running from 25 September to 4 October lists 320 exhibitors and close to 30,000 visitors. Organisation by SNCAO-GA and the authenticity certification offer transactional assurances for higher-value purchases.
