I'm trying to research it on the net but without much success, I want to show furniture & carving next year but haven't got the knowledge of appropriate events here. The UK equivalent would be the county shows and interiors events. Thanks.      Report

Hi Chris, although you have just missed this years, here is a link to an annual foire at Montpellier.  Went last year and it is truly huge! http://www.foire-montpellier.com/88723236/0/fiche___pagelibre/&RH      Report

Sadly, the timing's out but good for planning!  It will give you an idea if it's what you want but my guess - from the stuff I've seen when I've wandered round the expo' is that it would fit the bill.

I think it has only been around for a couple years now but has become very popular, I would like to try to make it next year if possible. Chris, not sure if you could exhibit there but if you could, perhaps it would be a good way to sell anything that would be difficult to shift in normal circumstances, because after a few hours, I would imagine anything would start looking good to some of the crowd attending. http://www.bordeaux-fete-le-vin.com/uk/galerie_photos/index.html    Report
