An unmissable event for professionals and enthusiasts alike, the international contemporary art fair FIAC, is increasingly open to all.

The theme of contemporary art certainly takes over in Paris during the first week of April. Two main events will take place at the same time, one at the Grand Palais, (the Art Paris Art Fair, from April 4 to 7), and the other at the Tuileries, (PAD Paris, from 3 to 7 April).

Paris is famous for its exceptional trade fairs and exhibitions such as the Salon de l'auto and Salon de l'agriculture. However, the most tempting gathering of all is surely the Salon du Chocolat which takes place over the first weekend in November – from October 31 to November 4 this year. An essential event to warm you up during the first frosts and prepare you for the end-of-year festivities.

Whether you're a complete beginner, a passionate fan with particular tastes or an investor in search of a good deal, the FIAC International Fair of Contemporary Art appeals to a very diverse audience. Fascinating, exciting and intriguing, it overflows the confines of  the nave of the Grand Palais and takes over some of the capital's most iconic places. One that you won't want to miss!

Once again, over 300 exhibitors will take part in Paris Design Week from September 6th to 15th – discover the design trends of today and tomorrow in every corner of the capital. It's a chance to see beautiful works by some of today's most exciting designers - and to enjoy beautiful and imaginative places when you stay at Chess Hotel Paris.

From April 5th to 8th, Art Paris Art Fair will celebrate its 20th anniversary under the magnificent nave of the Grand Palais - just 20 minutes from the Chess Hotel Paris. As it does every year, this impressive showcase of contemporary art brings together galleries from around the world to exhibit both recognised and emerging artists. And, since the main aim of the event was to make modern art accessible to all, let's go!

For some years now, Paris has emerged as a strong and innovative centre of contemporary art. There are now more events than ever, among them the Paris Asian Art Fair. The exhibition is dedicated to contemporary Asian art and is now an important part of the artistic calendar. 

Professionals won’t want to miss the Maison & Objet exhibition, a great event that is dedicated to the world of design and decoration.  Visit Villepinte during your stay at the Chess Hotel 8th to 12th September 2017 and you’ll discover over 3,000 brands and exhibitors from 64 countries. A show that becomes more successful with every edition!

This March, Paris offers visitors a host of exceptional, not to be missed events. Discover the magical stories of today and meet your favourite authors at the Book Fair. Or, pay tribute to your inner child and celebrate the 25^th anniversary of Disneyland Paris with memorable parades and shows.

In February, two major salons take place in the capital. Each attracts many visitors who have come to participate in these famous events and see the sights of Paris. The Salon de l'Agriculture will feature all the wonders of the rural world, including its best gastronomic products, while the Retromobile show will take you on a journey through time as you marvel at its beautiful old vehicles. Two great reasons to book your stay at the Chess Hotel.

From 10th to 14th November, Salon de la Photo will take place at Porte de Versailles. It’s a must for all fans and lovers of the eighth art.

Food lovers and chocolate addicts can relax. The Salon du Chocolat will once again return at the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre from October 28th to November 1st, and this year’s edition promises to be sweeter and bigger than ever.

A meeting place for artists and creators, FIAC returns to the Grand Palais for its 43rd edition this year, cementing its status as the essential modern and contemporary art event.
