Read moreThe Foire des Minées (69th edition) is a commercial and industrial exhibition attracting tens of thousands of visitors each year. It has been in existence for several centuries when, originally, fairgoers settled on a vacant lot called "Fief des Minées", hence its name. The "mine" or "minée" was an agrarian measure, resulting from a tax levied on the quantity of grain sold at the market: the "minage". Each year, more than 250 exhibitors set up shop in the Palais de la Foire for five days of entertainment.
