Batimat 2026: three ways to visit the show

For this edition, visitors can choose their preferred visit format. Two self-guided tours allow you to explore the trade show at your own pace. The first is organized around five major industry trends: renovation, AI, decarbonization, ease of implementation and services. The second is based on the recommendations of three building content creators—Stéphane Aria, Paul Barnier, and Laurent Jacquet (BichonTV)—who share their must-see stands.

In addition to these free-flowing tours, there are also guided tours led by a host at the trade show, scheduled at fixed times.

Paris Builders Show launches in 2026 a new series of podcasts: Builders Voices.

A new era begins for Les Meilleurs Artisans de France RMC. The 2026 edition introduces an entirely revamped concept. GG Olivier Truchot and Alain Marschall face off in an epic duel as they each form their own team of artisans. Their goal: to identify the best talents, coach them, and build the finest team in France.

To support them on this adventure, they will be aided by two must-have artisan influencers in the sector, as well as WorldSkills trade experts—true industry authorities—tasked with identifying, guiding, and elevating the candidates.

Come and cheer on our 8 finalists across one of the 4 competing trades: Carpentry, Masonry, Painting & Decorating, or Plumbing & Heating.

On the agenda: 2 days of challenges, after which the juries will convene to select the 2026 winners.

Hall 6 - Stand D050

A dedicated space featuring artworks and a film on the metamorphosis of materials, detailing the artistic creations for the Sabrina Lucas Gallery project.

Deborah and Paul embarked on an ambitious project to renovate a barn. Through social media, they share the progress and various stages of the renovation ; from the purchase to the final move-in into the house.

Later, they came up with the idea to launch "Chantiers Bavards": gatherings centered around the renovation and construction community held over an aperitif, transitioning from the virtual world of social media to real life.

These meetups revolved around one key question: "How essential are social media today in the construction industry?"
