The Salon de l'Agriculture closes this Sunday evening after a busy week.
It also had to close its doors temporarily this Saturday afternoon given the number of people present.
Suffice to say that the results of this 2023 edition promise to be rather positive for Arnaud Lemoine, director of the National Center for Agricultural Exhibitions and Competitions, which organizes this show.
After a lackluster 2022 edition due to the war in Ukraine, will 2023 mark the return of the Agricultural Show?
It closes this Sunday evening and the results are already looking very positive.
The show even had to close its doors temporarily on Saturday afternoon for security reasons, due to very high attendance.
"We had more exhibitors than last year. It seems that we will have more visitors than last year", specifies Arnaud Lemoine, director of the National Center for Agricultural Exhibitions and Competitions, which organizes this show.

A friendly and popular lounge
"It also seems that in everyone's opinion, the atmosphere was no better than last year, but we had a very good atmosphere. So if I want to qualify the show, it remains friendly and popular and as soon as we have a problem, we manage it. It's the biggest show in France now, so we have an additional responsibility vis-à-vis the visitors", he confides, adding that many families, young people from all over France made the trip.
“We have never seen so many people and so many different categories of French people,” concludes the organizer.
The attendance record dates back to 2014, with more than 700,000 visitors.
