Foire aux Plaisirs

The Foire aux Plaisirs, a Bordeaux tradition since 1853

The Foire aux Plaisirs has been a Bordeaux institution since 1853, the year it was established at the iconic Place des Quinconces. As the third largest funfair in France, it has become an unmissable event for locals and visitors alike.

200 attractions over 60,000 m²

The fair features nearly 200 attractions spread across 60,000 m²: an illuminated Ferris wheel, roller coasters, bumper cars, thrill rides, shooting galleries, duck fishing, and many more. There's something for all ages and all desires.

Two editions per year

The Foire aux Plaisirs returns twice a year: in the spring (March-April) and in the autumn (October-November). Each edition brings its own set of new attractions and surprises.

An exceptional setting

Place des Quinconces, one of the largest squares in Europe, provides an exceptional setting, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, for this popular family event.

An event rooted in Gironde

Located in Bordeaux, in the heart of the Gironde department, the Foire aux Plaisirs benefits from a privileged geographical location. The Bordeaux metropolitan area and its surroundings offer an exceptional quality of life, between renowned vineyards, the Landes forest, and the Atlantic coast. This event contributes to the regional cultural identity and the artistic creativity of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine territory.
