The Chatou Fair,
from classic
to plastic
T
he Chatou Fair is the most important
antiques and collectibles fair in France. An
institution in its own right, it brings together
700 dealers from all over the country and welcomes
35,000 visitors over 12 days. Every edition attracts
new exhibitors. For this edition, the traditional green,
wooden, covered alleyways and stalls will be
replaced with a tent village in gleaming white canvas.
The 91st fair will be a celebration of the diversity
that has always been in the event’s DNA, reflected
in an up-to-date theme : “From classic to plastic “.
The latest fashion is to dare to mix styles and to
avoid a purist look. The Chatou Fair brings
together professionals with an eclectic range of
personalities and specialities, from classical art to
designer plastic.
This
mingling of styles and
tastes allows every visitor
to put together a
universe in his or her own image.
NEW : The Chatou Fair will offer guided VIP tours,
« Leçons de Chine » accompanied by decorators
or experts to teach the art of antique-hunting like a
pro (limited numbers, book to join).

The Chatou Fair is organised by
the SNCAO-GA (National Union of
Dealers in Antiques and Collectibles and
Modern and Contemporary Art Galleries). With
1,200 members the SNCAO-GA is the most
important representative body for the antiques
trade in France. Traditionally known as The
Brocante and Ham Fair, the event changed its
name last year to The Chatou Fair, in recognition
of its evolution over the years to include jewelers,
antique dealers, art galleries and representatives
of France's myriad regional food products.
The Chatou Fair is an event certified by the
SNCAO-GA, with the label "France-Europe-
Antiques-Quality". All exhibitors are professionals
who engage themselves to sell on a basis of
authenticity. The organisers provide an expert
advisory service for visitors.

The Chatou
Fair…
a history,
a place,
an ambience
P
icturesque and not to be missed, The
Chatou Fair has set up its stalls on the
Impressionists’ Island at Chatou since
1970; but its origins date back to the mediaeval
Foire aux Salaisons, the Salt Meats Fair, a great
Gallic tradition. In 1840 the fair took up fixed
residence on the Boulevard Bourdon, near the
Place de la Bastille in Paris. At the same time the
city's scrap dealers and junk merchants started
their own fair next door, a proximity that linked

the future of the two fairs together. In 1869 they
were both moved to the Boulevard Richard
Lenoir, where they remained for nearly a century,
initially taking place once a year, and from 1940
onwards twice-yearly. The fair was then known as
the Foire à la ferraille, aux pains d’épices et aux
jambons – the scrap metal, gingerbread and ham
fair. Stallholders would bake little gingerbread
pigs decorated with their favourite Christian
names, a custom reflected in the Chatou Fair’s
little pig logo. In 1970 the Prefect of Paris, the
capital's top administrator, ordered the fair out of
the city. But rather than see it die, the SNCAOGA stepped in with a rescue plan, installing it on
Chatou's Impressionists' Island. The September
2015 fair will be the 91st on its present site.

is more with-it than the past.
Ferret out what’s in, mix styles,

hunter’s trend heaven.
FROM CLASSIC
TO PLASTIC

Versailles, « The 18th century, at the source of Design », which
looked at classical art from a new angle : By setting

removed from over-busy baroque, the cabinet makers’ craftsmanship
and rich creativity comes into sharper focus and you understand that
yesterday was cutting edge too ! Today, the classical - often repurposed,
revisited or recombined - responds to a longing for sophistication in an
age searching for an echo of safe haven values. In the 1970s a new
player appeared on the style scene: Plastic. It brought buzz, a certain
lightness, new forms and colours: Bright, brash colours made their
comeback in Seventies interiors.

TReNdSeTTeRS’ NOTebOOk
AT THE CHATOU FAIR
The Chatou Fair brings together
professionals with a variety of styles
and specialities – from classic to plastic.
It’s a rich brew, a medley of furniture
and objects from different periods,
and different dealers. Here’s a taste of it,
a sort of trendsetter’s notebook,
an invitation to lose yourself in the fair’s
alleyways, and find inspiration.

Periodic fusion
Based in the Gers region of southwest France, the
Fauroux family, dealers in antiques and collectibles,
sell to a prestigious clientele. At the Chatou Fair
they are showing high quality classical furniture with
a preference for the high mediaeval and renaissance
periods, and gilded wood frames. It’s a style that
fuses surprisingly well with 20

P
eople come to have fun in a friendly
place and enjoy Geneviève Bébin’s
famous ham on the bone or her
suckling pig, freshly spit-roasted before your
eyes. Her ham is prepared by hand, following
a traditional recipe, just the thing for a
genuine gourmet moment. The Oliveras,
specialists in Pata Negra, offer a selection of
the best Spanish hams: Serrano, Pata Negra
and Bellota.
Yannick Dubois is from Brittany but his
speciality is duck! Pan-fried foie gras to be
eaten on the spot or homemade cassoulet to
take away … it’s all good… including the pork.
As a good Breton he can’t resist adding cubed
pork “rillons” and filet mignon to his menu.
But best of all is Yannick’s humour -- to be
savoured without moderation.
Marie Lauga has her own fan club of foodies,
built over three generations since 1976. Her
address isn’t public -- her clients come to her
by word-of-mouth only. At the Chatou fair she
offers good foie gras sandwiches, washed
down with a glass of wine from the hills of
Gascony.
Frederic, from the Ardeche, invites you to
taste his regional cheeses and sausages,
seating his customers around great tables
where everybody quickly makes new friends.
Don’t leave without buying some of the
many mustards from Charroux - magical
concoctions that transform a simple slice of
cooked ham into a refined and savoury delight.

There’s more to the Chatou Fair than ham! You
can taste excellent Marennes d’Oleron oysters
at Titi et Fifi’s stand, Les Perles de l’Atlantique
(Atlantic Pearls). Customers come to this haven of peace
and good humour for the freshness of their oysters, for
their preservative-free seafood products from the Ile
d’Yeu and, last but not least, the atmosphere. And making waves this year, Patrice Chapon installed his
chocolate mousse bar at the fair for the first time last
March. He offers chocolate from 5 origins: Cuba,
Equador, Madagascar, Venezuela and Equaga ( a mix of
Equador and Ghana).
