Salon du Chocolat Paris

The Salon du Chocolat is the annual chocolate fair of Paris, run by the events company Comexposium in Pavilion 5 of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, the large exhibition centre on the southern edge of the city. In 2026 it is open to the public from Wednesday 28 October to Sunday 1 November, from 10 am to 7 pm. An opening night on Tuesday 27 October, from 7 pm to 10 pm, is reserved for special access. Ticket sales for 2026 are open on the organiser’s site.

The organiser bills 2026 as a new, immersive edition. This page sticks to what the organiser had published when the facts were checked, on 29 September 2026. Anything else is on the official site.

What to taste

• Single-origin chocolate. The organiser puts tastings of premium single-origin chocolates at the centre of the fair. A single-origin bar is made from cocoa beans of one country or region, so tasting several side by side is the clearest way to taste how origin changes flavour.
• Small tastes, many stands. Walk the whole hall once before you start tasting: it is easy to fill up at the first stands.

Tickets and prices in 2026

The adult ticket for the opening night costs 30 euros. Each ticket is valid for one person and gives access to the fair for one day of your choice.

Practical tips for the Salon du Chocolat Paris

• Come on a weekday. Adult tickets cost 4 euros less from Wednesday to Friday, and children’s tickets 2 euros less.
• One ticket, one day. If you want to come back, you need a second ticket.
• Check the dates on the ticket page. In late September 2026, one link on the English home page still read 29 October to 2 November, while the dates page, the FAQ and the ticket page all gave 28 October to 1 November. This guide follows the latter.
• Access. The address is 1 Place de la Porte de Versailles, 75015 Paris. Metro line 12 and tram lines T2 and T3a stop at Porte de Versailles.
• Where to stay. Hotels around Porte de Versailles are a short walk from the hall, and anywhere along metro line 12 gives a direct ride.
