All trade shows in Bruz

Description

Parc Expo Rennes Aéroport is located in Bruz, around 12 km south-west of Rennes, immediately bordering Rennes-Saint-Jacques airport. The site occupies a footprint mainly within the municipality of Bruz, with a few plots extending into Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande and Chartres-de-Bretagne. According to Wikipedia, the land and the halls are owned by Groupe Pigeault Immobilier, which also operates them: it is one of the few large French exhibition centres to run under a private regime rather than public or semi-public management.

The centre totals more than 54,000 sqm of heated covered space, supplemented by approximately 58,000 sqm of outdoor space, for a total of more than 110,000 sqm of exhibition space. The site's distinctiveness lies in the combination of an active airport platform less than 2 km away and road access directly off the Rennes ring road, making it one of the few exhibition centres in the West capable of hosting an international-scale agricultural format (SPACE) within easy reach of both plane and road.

Halls

The centre spreads across 11 modular halls, laid out at ground level, without intermediate columns, with a black bitumen floor. All the halls are equipped with full LED lighting, sound systems and WiFi access points.

  • Reception hall: main entrance, visitor and exhibitor reception, event ticketing.
  • Halls 1, 2/3, 4, 5, 7, 8: modular exhibition halls, used in a unified or partitioned configuration depending on the trade show.
  • Hall 9: 4,971 sqm, also operated under the MusikHALL brand for concert formats and stage events (performance-venue configuration).
  • Halls 10A and 10B: two twin halls, used in tandem or separately.
  • Hall 11: additional hall.
  • Espace Bretagne and Central Parc: complementary spaces usable for receptions, conference areas or as an extension of neighbouring halls.

The detailed individual surface areas per hall are not published openly by the operator: technical plans and quotes are available on request from the organiser.

Access and transport

The site sits alongside the Rennes ring road, accessible from exit 8 Porte de Saint-Nazaire, and close to the RN137 and the RD37.

  • Accommodation: no hotel integrated within the centre. The offering is concentrated in Bruz, Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande and the centre of Rennes (~12 km), supplemented by the airport zone.

Detailed pricing terms (room hire, premium exhibitor services) are provided by the operator on request.

News

The centre operates under the private management of Groupe Pigeault Immobilier, which runs and develops the facility in line with the calendar of flagship trade shows. Hall 9 / MusikHALL has shaped the site's events positioning in recent years, notably hosting concerts as part of the Trans Musicales, alongside the trade show calendar.

No consolidated public schedule of further expansion has been communicated to date by the operator. The airport proximity and the pressure on land in the southern Rennes belt remain medium-term issues for the next generations of halls.

Flagship trade shows
