The ticket (€ 6.50) provides access to more traditional events, such as a feline expo, workshops, crafts, games and other wooden giant game of laser parts. “This year, hall 3 should refuel with Lego animation,” says Carole Gohel, in charge of the organization. Also new for the larger this time, a “rogue space” will be located in a corner of the hall 4.
2) This is the biggest large western commercial event
So many sights that attract each year. With a 4% increase in visits in 2015, the fair of Nantes is a true highlight for exhibitors. First Western trade event, it would represent even a quarter of annual sales to 11% of them. This year, it is the universe of the house, the decor and furnishings which is the most represented, but much is also given to leisure, “smart products”, crafts and to gastronomy.
“The fair is the ancestor of trade: the only place where the meeting is directly observes the president of Exponantes Frederick Jouët. The event complements the Internet: here people can touch and test the products … and possibly negotiate the price! ”

We find in the aisles a predominantly female audience (62%) and over half of the public inhabits the city. Also of note, 79% of visitors are couples or families: take advantage of the school holidays begin at the weekend.
