The Paris Livestock and Machinery Shows These two important shows, the premier events of the French agriculture calendar are held in late February/early March right in the heart of France's glamorous capital city. The machinery show (SIMA), one of Europe's largest, takes place every other year. The traditional site of the livestock and food sector is the permanent exhibition halls of the Porte de Versailles on the south side of Paris. The amazing food hall has produce and wines from every region of the country and is one of the great sights and joys of the show. It is easy to spend all the day there if you are not careful.
