Farmers should focus on tools tied to a clear problem such as labour, monitoring, robotics, farm management or input efficiency and ask for real deployment examples.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What are the exact dates and hours for the 2026 edition?
The Salon International de l'Agriculture takes place from Saturday, February 21 to Sunday, March 1, 2026. The exhibition is open daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM without exception, including weekends. This consistent schedule allows visitors flexibility regardless of which day they attend. The event runs for nine consecutive days, making it one of France's longest-running annual exhibitions. Note that the professional program SIA'PRO operates only February 23-25 within the broader salon dates. Plan to arrive by 8:45 AM if attending opening hours to secure entry without delays, as queues form at popular entrances.
2. How much do tickets cost and where should I buy them?
Adult tickets cost €17, children ages 6-12 pay €9, and children under 6 enter free. Students and agricultural sector students pay €10 with valid ID. A weekday family pass (2 adults + 2 children) costs €45. Group discounts apply: 15-49 people pay €15/person, groups over 50 pay €14/person. Professional visitors pay €17 for 1-day access or €34 for 2-day access, with benefits including fast-track entry, reserved competition seating, and lounge access. A special €10 rate is available weekdays (Monday-Friday) at the on-site ticket office with ID proof, but this does not apply to weekends. Purchase tickets in advance at salon-agriculture.com to avoid on-site queues and guarantee entry, as the event sometimes reaches capacity on peak weekend days. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
3. What are the best days to visit for professional networking versus avoiding crowds?
For serious B2B networking, visit February 23-25 when SIA'PRO operates. These midweek days attract agricultural professionals, equipment buyers, and livestock breeders, with fewer general public visitors. Morning hours (9 AM-12 PM) offer optimal conditions for technical discussions and equipment demonstrations. To avoid crowds entirely, choose Monday-Thursday (excluding public holidays), arriving at 9 AM or after 5 PM. Opening weekend (Feb 21-22) and closing weekend (Feb 28-March 1) draw 70,000-80,000 daily visitors, creating vibrant atmosphere but requiring patience. Mid-week days typically see 45,000-55,000 visitors, providing manageable crowds while maintaining energy. Political visits cluster Monday-Wednesday of the first week, attracting additional media and security presence.
4. How do I get from Charles de Gaulle or Orly airports to the venue?
From CDG (38km away): Take RER B toward Paris to Cité Universitaire station (49 minutes, €10.30), exit and board Tramway T3A to Porte de Versailles stop (15 minutes, included in same ticket). Total journey approximately 75 minutes, €14 including connections. Alternative route uses Metro Line 6 via Denfert-Rochereau. From Orly (18km away): Take Orlyval to Antony (8 minutes), connect to RER B toward Paris to Cité Universitaire (15 minutes), transfer to Tramway T3A to Porte de Versailles (15 minutes). Total journey approximately 40-45 minutes, €14-16. Taxi from CDG costs €50-65 (35-90 minutes depending on traffic), from Orly €30-40 (20-30 minutes). Uber and Bolt offer similar rates. Book rideshare services 24 hours ahead during the salon for guaranteed availability.
5. Is English sufficient or do I need French language skills?
Major exhibitors and international pavilions typically have English-speaking staff, particularly in SIA'PRO professional areas where global business occurs. Competition commentary, conferences, and educational presentations are conducted in French without live translation. Many smaller regional producers speak limited or no English, though they enthusiastically communicate through gestures and product sampling. Restaurant and venue signage include English. Professional visitors benefit from hiring interpreters for detailed technical discussions. The salon provides multilingual printed guides and maps. Food enthusiasts and general visitors can navigate successfully with basic French phrases and translation apps. Agricultural terminology can be specialized, so prepare key vocabulary if conducting technical business. The International Business Club offers interpreter assistance for registered professional visitors during scheduled meetings.
6. Should I drive or is parking available?
Strongly recommended: use public transport. Parking at the venue is severely limited (approximately 500 spaces) for an event expecting 70,000-80,000 daily visitors during peak days. On-site parking fills by 9:30-10:00 AM and costs €20-30/day. Traffic congestion around Porte de Versailles during the salon can add 45-60 minutes to travel times. Public transport provides faster, more reliable access via Metro Line 12 (direct to Porte de Versailles station) or Tramway T3A. If driving is unavoidable, pre-book parking at nearby off-site garages (Citroën Cévennes, Corentin Celton, Cœur de Ville) via Indigo Neo, Onepark, or OPnGO for €12-18/day with advance discounts. Better option: use park-and-ride facilities at outer Metro/RER stations (€5-8/day) and take public transport the final distance. Delivery vehicles for exhibitors require special authorization and designated time windows.
