Salon des Véhicules de Loisirs: The Heart of Europe's Recreational Vehicle World

Every year, just outside the bustling center of Paris, a different kind of journey begins. It doesn't start with a plane ticket or a hotel booking it begins with wheels, wanderlust, and a little bit of imagination. Welcome to the Salon des Véhicules de Loisirs, the premier gathering for the recreational vehicle (RV) community in France and across Europe.

Held at the Le Bourget Sport Climbing Venue, this event is far more than a traditional trade show. It's a dynamic, immersive showcase of the ever-evolving world of motorhomes, caravans, camper vans, mobile homes, and all the accessories and ideas that make life on the road more comfortable, adventurous, and attainable.

A Hub for RV Enthusiasts, Makers, and Dreamers

The Salon des Véhicules de Loisirs brings together everyone involved in the RV lifestyle from seasoned travelers to first-time buyers, from engineers and manufacturers to lifestyle influencers and van life bloggers. It offers a comprehensive, well-rounded view of the current state and future direction of recreational travel.

You’ll find:

The leading French and European manufacturers of RVs

A broad selection of motorhomes, camper vans, caravans, and mobile homes

Specialized accessories, upgrades, and gear for road travel

Experts from across the industry, including federations, travel clubs, and media outlets

This event is not just for those ready to make a purchase it’s for anyone who’s ever thought about taking their life off-grid, even if only for a weekend.

What Makes This Show Stand Out?

While RV expos take place around the world, what sets this one apart is the sheer scale, quality, and diversity of the offerings not to mention its location in the cultural heart of Europe.

A Comprehensive Showcase of Recreational Vehicles

From compact, cleverly designed camper vans to fully-equipped motorhomes that feel like mobile apartments, every style and budget is represented. It’s the one place where you can walk through dozens of models in a single afternoon and truly compare what each brand has to offer.

Some highlights include:

Luxury motorhomes with built-in showers, solar panels, and smart tech

Ultra-light caravans ideal for couples or solo travelers

Family-sized vans with bunk beds, kitchens, and outdoor cooking solutions

Mobile homes designed for semi-permanent stays in campgrounds or rural properties

With hundreds of vehicles on display, it’s an ideal place for hands-on research. Visitors can step inside each model, test beds, open cabinets, and speak directly with designers and brand representatives.

More Than Vehicles: Accessories, Gear, and Innovations

Of course, no RV lifestyle is complete without the tools, tech, and clever gear that turns a vehicle into a home. At the Salon, attendees get a first look at the latest accessories and upgrades in the world of leisure travel.

Compact kitchen modules and water filtration units

Smart navigation tools and mobile apps
