La Foire Saint-Germain

The Foire de Saint-Germain celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, from the 7th of June through the 8th of July.

Originally founded in 1176, it was considered at the time, a place to discover all the marvels of the world. In the 18th century, the Foire displayed the first rhinoceros ever seen in France.

It was home to all forms of performances such as comic opera and Marionnette puppet theatre.
Latterly, the Foire de Saint-Germain has taken place on place Saint-Sulpice, Saint Germain de Prés.
Granting free access to 5 different salons (contemporary art, antiques, poems, books, and ceramics), performances, concerts for adults and children this year there is also a big exhibition on the history of the Foire itself.

This Thursday, June 7th, check out the antique Salon which will be open the following 12 days.
