At 44 years old, this event takes full advantage of its maturity to convey a message: more than ever in the contemporary art market, Paris is the place to be!</em></p>

There are gathered close to 180 galleries, from the most important to the most confidential. For the latter, gathered in the Lafayette Sector, FIAC is a real springboard. For visitors, these young galleries are an indicator of trends, which sometimes jostles and often surprises.</p>

This sector, called On Site, has been in existence since 2016 and offers about forty sculptural works and installations distributed in galleries, the garden and esplanades.</p>

The works leave museums and galleries to take over public spaces. Works of art in the Tuileries garden, the Eug&egrave;ne-Delacroix National Museum and Place Vend&ocirc;me, performances, film screenings, lectures... contemporary art invites itself in the city to meet Parisians and visitors.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; word-wrap: break-word; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><em>If you are one of them, book your stay at the Beaugency Hotel, which is only 20 minutes by foot or by transport from the Grand Palais, and just a short distance from the Tuileries garden, the Eug&egrave;ne Delacroix Museum and Place Vend&ocirc;me.</em></p>
