A Gastronomic Village at the Heart of the Fair

The Gastronomic Village is one of the highlights of the Foire de Tours. With approximately 110 stands, it is open every day from 10 am to midnight and offers a varied dining experience: world cuisines, regional specialties, tastings. It's the ideal place to gather with family or friends in a festive atmosphere.

A Guest Country Each Year

Each edition of the Foire de Tours spotlights a guest country, allowing visitors to discover its culture, crafts, gastronomy, and traditions. After Brazil in 2025, India is honored in 2026 with a dedicated 800 m² space and numerous activities (dance, music, yoga, cooking classes). This openness to the world is one of the fair's signatures.

The Village Stage: Free Concerts

The Village Stage offers free concerts every evening in a dedicated area with seating. The eclectic program mixes variety, rock, electro, world music, and local artists. Animations, shows, and demonstrations also punctuate the days, making the Foire de Tours a festive and family-friendly event.

With 5,000 free parking spaces available on the Parc des Expositions site and easy access by public transport (Fil Bleu bus lines 3a, 3b, 4, 16, shuttle 83 from the train station), the fair annually attracts a family and multi-generational audience.
