Foire aux Haricots d'Arpajon

2025 Edition — 92nd Edition Under the Colors of DOM-TOM

The 92nd edition of the Foire aux Haricots d'Arpajon took place from September 19 to 21, 2025, under the theme of the DOM-TOM (French overseas departments and territories). This thematic choice highlighted the cultural and gastronomic richness of the French overseas territories through special events, exhibitions, and stands.

150,000 Visitors Under the September Sun

As usual, the fair attracted over 150,000 visitors over the three days, confirming its status as a major popular event in Essonne. The giant flea market, the local producers' market, the funfair, and the open-air shows contributed to a festive and convivial atmosphere throughout the weekend.

The Chevrier Bean in the Spotlight

The gastronomic competition dedicated to the chevrier bean once again awarded the best recipes proposed by amateur and professional cooks. This emblematic bean, the pride of the Essonne region, has remained at the heart of the fair since 1952.
