Salon du Chocolat 2026 at Porte de Versailles: dates and highlights
At the end of October, the Salon du Chocolat et de la Pâtisserie celebrates its 31st edition. This international gourmet celebration of cocoa, chocolate and patisserie, one of the major Paris events of the autumn, runs from Wednesday October 28 to Sunday November 1, 2026. It takes place in Pavilion 5 of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, from 10 am to 7 pm every day, with an opening night the evening before, on Tuesday October 27. Its location in the 15th arrondissement makes this chocolate trade show an easy culinary outing to fit into a city break. Tickets are on sale online, with day tickets and passes such as the family pass, and rates differ between weekdays and weekends. To see prices, the official Salon du Chocolat website remains the safest source before you fix your travel dates.
The programme alternates tastings, live demonstrations of chocolate and pastry making, and workshops. There, renowned artisans, French and international chocolatiers and pastry chefs share their know-how. Twice a day, a musical show with chocolate costumes livens up the aisles. On Thursday October 29, tastings linked to the Master du pain au chocolat are scheduled on stage. The bean-to-bar movement, which follows the cocoa bean from cocoa producers to the finished bar, is one of the topics of this edition.
Access to the Salon du Chocolat from Saint-Cloud: tram, metro and car
In terms of transport, the Salon du Chocolat is easy to reach from the west of Paris. Tram line T2 links the Parc de Saint-Cloud stop to Porte de Versailles, and Porte de Versailles metro station is also served by line 12. From the hotel, bus 160 (Général Leclerc stop) connects with the tram, while the Gare de Saint-Cloud train station links you to Gare Saint-Lazare.
By car, the A13 motorway (Saint-Cloud exit, 400 meters from the hotel) and then the south ring road lead to Porte de Versailles, but parking near the venue is limited during the event. It is easier to leave your car in the hotel’s private car park, a paid service. It has around twenty spaces on a closed underground level and around ten behind the building.
The Quorum’s secure luggage room can keep your belongings before or after your visit. The floor plan and map of the Salon du Chocolat, along with directions, are available on the official website. In terms of accessibility, the exhibition center is equipped for visitors with reduced mobility, and the hotel car park has a space reserved for them.
Other major fairs coming up at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center
Once Sunday November 1 has passed, the Salon du Chocolat makes way for other events at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, one of the largest trade fair and convention venues in Europe. Just before it, from Thursday October 22 to Sunday October 25, Paris Games Week celebrates its 15th edition with video games, esports and pop culture. It is a major event for the sector in France.
From November 3 to 5, Expoprotection brings together risk prevention and management professionals. From November 17 to 19, Heavent Paris, dedicated to the events industry and its creativity, is held alongside Séminaire Expo and Affaire de Cadeaux.
Finally, Créations & Savoir-Faire, the show for handmade crafts and creative hobbies, celebrates its 30th anniversary from November 18 to 22. Expect live demonstrations, workshops, handmade jewelry and fashion accessories, and a late opening on Thursday 19. Dates may change at short notice: check them on the organizers’ official websites before booking.
If your company is exhibiting or you are visiting these trade fairs on business, Le Quorum works as a business hotel near Paris. It offers free Wi-Fi, an air-conditioned and modular seminar room, and coworking spaces for up to fifteen people, ideal for preparing a meeting or writing up a report in peace in the evening. The La Défense business district, spread across Courbevoie, Puteaux and Nanterre, is also within easy reach. For Paris Games Week or Créations & Savoir-Faire, connecting rooms and private parking make family outings simpler.
Rooms: unwind in peace after a day at the fair
Le Quorum has 59 rooms and suites, decorated in a contemporary style with soft colors and designed in the spirit of a comfortable apartment. Rather than an aparthotel, your accommodation offers premium bedding, an LCD TV, free Wi-Fi and a bathroom with a bathtub or shower. You also enjoy hotel services and the charm of a small-scale residence. Large double beds promise a proper night’s sleep after hours on your feet in the aisles. For families, connecting rooms are available, handy for a chocolate outing with the children. Photos of the rooms on our website give a good idea of the atmosphere before you book.
Our small pride and joy is suite 110, known as the artist’s room. Italian artist Lanfranco Quadrio painted a fresco there inspired by the marble group Cupid and Psyche in the Parc de Saint-Cloud, placed near the Trois Bouillons basin on October 2, 1802. Each evening after the show can end in front of a work of art.
Food and drink: the Quosy, the bar and breakfast on site
The restaurant Quosy offers a taste of French gastronomy, with revisited cuisine based on fresh, seasonal food. Dinner is served from Monday to Friday, which covers the evenings of Wednesday 28, Thursday 29 and Friday 30 October. For the show weekend, contact the front desk before you arrive, by phone or by email at info@lequorum.fr, rather than searching for Paris restaurants late at night.
In the morning, a full buffet of fresh, local produce sets you up for Pavilion 5. The bar, with its deep armchairs and piano, is open during the day and in the evening. Guests wondering whether it serves hot chocolate can check the bar menu. Two terraces extend the fine-weather days.
Saint-Cloud and west Paris: things to do around the show
Your stay is about more than exhibition halls. Paris and the Île-de-France region offer plenty of activities, and Saint-Cloud suits tourism as much as business. The Domaine national de Saint-Cloud and its park, known as one of the most beautiful in Île-de-France, are a few minutes from the hotel for a real breath of nature. The Orangerie terrace, the horseshoe basin and the Grand Jet basin punctuate the walk. In the town center, local shops round off the stroll.
Nearby attractions include the Saint-Cloud golf course and racecourse, the Seine riverbanks, the Bois de Boulogne, Roland-Garros and the Parc des Princes. The Palace of Versailles and its gardens are about twenty minutes away by car.
With the tram and metro lines 9 and 10, you reach Paris center and its iconic sites: the Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Élysées, the Opéra, Montmartre, the Louvre Museum, Saint-Germain-des-Prés or the Luxembourg Gardens, with Seine cruises in the heart of the city. Visit Paris by day, explore its monuments, museums and cultural sites, then return to Saint-Cloud at night.
Why choose Le Quorum for a trade show stay in Paris ?
Le Quorum is neither a hotel in Paris center nor an address right next to Pavilion 5, and it does not claim to be. It is a complete hotel on a human scale in the heart of Saint-Cloud.

For travelers comparing budget options and hotel prices, it offers good value for money without giving up a real dinner in the evening.
