The origins of the Lyon fair

The origins of the Lyon fair date back to 1420, when Charles VII authorized the first «frank fairs» and grants French merchants as foreigners the same privileges as those granted to champagne fairs (animated since the twelfth century).

These two annual fairs ceased in 1429 after many looting and resumed 15 years later, in 1444. The following year, in 1445, Charles VII added a 3^And The annual fair is forbidden to traders in the kingdom of going to trade at the Geneva Fair in order to promote Lyon’s economic development.

The history of the Lyon fair today

The Lyon fair as we know it today was born from the idea of ​​Georges-Louis Arlaud and Antoine Rivoire to compete with the Paris fair.

The first fair opens 1^AND March 1916 in various places such as the Bondy Palace, the Palais de la Bourse and the Rodano Quays. In 1917, during the second edition that President Raymond Poincaré visited, it was decided to build a space to host all the stands that invade banks. This is how the Palais de la Foire was built from 1918 to 1935, finally destroyed in 1980 to make room for the Cité International de Lyon. It was only in 1985 that the Lyon fair took place in Eurexpo.
