Rocalia 2017 : the new french natural stone fair
We had the idea of a Stone Show in France several years ago. The disappearance or poor performances of several shows in Europe, the emergence of Paysalia in Lyon and the will of many players to give a new impetus to the French natural stone sector convinced us to take up this big challenge.
This is why GL events Exhibitions (which organises Paysalia and many other shows) and Pierre Actual, reference expert in the field of natural stone with Les Editions Le Mausolée, founded in 1933, have joined forces to launch Rocal ia - the dedicated natural stone show.
The first edition will be held on December 5th, 6th and 7th, 2017 at Eurexpo in Lyon, France, at the same time as Paysalia, the big French landscaping exhibition which has been highly successful since its creation in 2009. Rocalia is dedicated to natural stone professionals and specifiers of ornamental rocks for building and construction industries, decoration, heritage restoration, urban developments and landscaping.
Rocalia will show all the materials, products, equipments, tools and services specific to the sector. We hope that all professionals and trade associations active in stone working will adopt this event as their own and make it a “must”. During the exhibition we will organise a full programme of events to attract the broadest possible spectrum of visitors from France and abroad. Synergy with Paysalia will be a major success factor. Paysalia attracts approximately 18,000 landscapers, many of whom are also interested in stone products and services. Rocalia 2017 is already in the starting blocks. It is up to all of us to get it running!
Rocalia is the result of close collaboration between two experts, Pierre Actual and GL events Exhibitions, who decided to provide the natural stone sector with its own exhibition.
