ABOUT THE FAIR
The Game Fair in Lamotte-Beuvron is France’s largest trade show dedicated to hunting, nature, and rural traditions. It is an annual must-attend event for nature lovers, hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and admirers of regional culture. Since its inception in 1981, the fair has established itself as a unique public event that goes beyond showcasing products to offer immersive experiences. It is organized by Éditions Larivière, a renowned French media company specializing in outdoor, hunting, and automotive publications. Each year, the fair gathers experts, manufacturers, families, and curious visitors in the heart of the historic hunting region of Sologne.
Held traditionally in June, the fair takes place at the Parc Équestre Fédéral in Lamotte-Beuvron—a spacious, scenic venue that offers ideal conditions for presentations, demonstrations, and workshops. Ample parking and accommodation options are available in the surrounding area. The location, set amidst nature, provides an authentic meeting point for those who seek to experience hunting and the environment in a holistic way.
The focus of the Game Fair spans hunting, nature, fishing, rural traditions, and outdoor activities. Visitors can explore a wide array of products and services—from cutting-edge hunting gear like firearms, optics, camouflage clothing, and ammunition to premium dog accessories, fishing equipment, handcrafted knives, and exclusive wild game delicacies. The event emphasizes variety and specialization, reflected in its themed areas: the Premium Village, Dog Village, Arc Hunting Village, Fishing Village, and Cutlery Craft Village. These dedicated zones invite visitors to explore specific topics and engage directly with brands, manufacturers, and experts.
A hallmark of the Game Fair is the combination of in-depth expertise with a welcoming, visitor-friendly atmosphere. Beyond the product showcases and sales booths, the event features a rich supporting program: expert talks, panel discussions on sustainable hunting, demonstrations of hunting dog breeds, field trials, live wild game cooking, and traditional craft displays all contribute to a dynamic experience that goes far beyond a typical trade fair.
With its clear thematic focus, recurring structure, and commitment to nature, heritage, and innovation, the Game Fair in Lamotte-Beuvron is much more than a marketplace—it is a cultural event. Those looking to experience hunting, the outdoors, and rural life in all its diversity will find a specialized platform offering genuine value—whether they are seasoned hunters or nature-loving families.
