• Next edition announced: 12 to 14 March 2027 at the Parc Expo de Saint-Étienne.
• The 2026 edition (from 6 to 8 March, presented as the fourth edition) marked a turning point: for the first time, the Salon de l'Habitat and the Salon de l'Immobilier were brought together in a single hall, the latter strand being organised in partnership with the magazine Le 42 Immo.
• More than 130 exhibitors, local and regional, in 2026, over 90% of which were based in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, along with more than 50 property professionals (developers, builders, financial advisers, notaries).
• Free entry with registration. A regional consumer-facing event, not a B2B professional trade show.
