To attend an exhibition or congress in Angers, first identify the venue: SIVAL, the Angers Fair and Salon du Végétal use the Exhibition Centre, while city-centre congresses may take place at the Jean-Monnier Convention Centre. Officially published dates are 12–14 January 2027 for SIVAL and 15–19 April 2027 for the Fair. Book accommodation early and request an invoice if needed.
Calendar: confirmed dates versus past editions
The information below reflects official publications consulted for this guide in November 2026. Do not turn a customary season into a guaranteed date: check your invitation, badge and organiser’s calendar before booking non-changeable transport.
| Event | Official information | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| SIVAL | 12–14 January 2027 | Exhibition Centre |
| Angers Fair | 15–19 April 2027 | Exhibition Centre |
| Salon du Végétal | Published edition: 15–17 September 2026, now past | Exhibition Centre |
| Congresses and conventions | Individual event calendars | Jean-Monnier Convention Centre or another specified venue |
These details come from SIVAL, the Angers Fair and Destination Angers events. No future Salon du Végétal dates are given without a verified official announcement.
SIVAL: planning your January stay
SIVAL is the international exhibition for plant production techniques. The announced edition runs from 12 to 14 January 2027 at Angers Exhibition Centre 7. Exhibitors should add any set-up and dismantling requirements, but only according to the organiser’s instructions.
From the apartment, compare reaching the station for an official shuttle with arranging a road journey to the venue. SIVAL’s access page announces free shuttles without reservations between the station and the exhibition; check your edition’s timetable and exact departure point 5. Do not infer frequency from a previous year.
The tram does not reach the halls directly. If using regular public transport instead of a shuttle, check the full journey, including walking and any connection. Book accommodation early: major professional events can concentrate demand. This advice does not imply a guaranteed occupancy level or particular rate.
Angers Fair: planning your visit and access
Destination Angers publishes the Angers Fair for 15–19 April 2027 at the Exhibition Centre in Verrières-en-Anjou 2. Spring is therefore the confirmed season for this edition, but do not automatically transfer those dates to another year.
From Mon Château Angers, plan to travel by car, taxi or public transport. The venue’s official access page lists buses 4 and 11 towards Angers Parc Expo, alighting at Parc des Expositions 1. Check the day’s timetable: a regular bus service is not an event shuttle.
Professionals attending for several days should distinguish visitor parking, exhibitor access and delivery slots. Your accommodation does not supply logistical permissions for the venue. Confirm public opening hours and admission conditions directly with the Fair rather than keeping an old screenshot.
Salon du Végétal: do not invent the next edition
Destination Angers describes Salon du Végétal as a biennial industry event, with a published edition on 15–17 September 2026 at the Exhibition Centre 3. In November 2026, that edition is past. Its biennial status alone does not justify announcing precise dates for the next one.
If already planning a future trip, wait for an official announcement before fixing your tickets. You can still establish your requirements: guest numbers, arrival night, equipment, attendance across several days and invoicing. This allows accommodation comparisons without confusing preparation with calendar confirmation.
Access from the apartment follows the same principles as for other exhibitions at the venue: car or taxi, buses to be checked, or a shuttle only when announced for that event. SIVAL shuttles must not be described as a permanent Salon du Végétal service.
Congresses at the Jean-Monnier Convention Centre
The official name is Centre de Congrès Jean-Monnier, not Jean-Monnier. Opposite the Jardin des Plantes, this city-centre venue hosts congresses, conventions, seminars and cultural events 4. Each event has its own dates, access arrangements and registration rules; there is no single season covering all congresses.
Tram lines A and B serve Centre de Congrès; buses 3, 4, 9 and 10 are listed at Mendès France 1. From the apartment, compare walking with a route including the walk to the tram. We do not promise a departure outside the building or an unmeasured door-to-door time.
Check that your congress actually uses this venue: an Angers event may take place elsewhere. For a delegates’ dinner or evening function, also check the secondary address and your return after public transport finishes.
Journey times: allow a realistic margin
Destination Angers describes the Exhibition Centre as ten minutes from the city centre 2. This general indication is not a guaranteed time from Mon Château Angers, particularly during an exhibition. No exact apartment-door journey times are given here without sufficiently precise verification.
| Destination | Options to compare | Extra time to include |
|---|---|---|
| Exhibition Centre | Car, taxi, bus or announced shuttle | Traffic, drop-off and walking to the hall |
| Convention Centre | Walking or tram A/B, depending on route | Walk to stop, waiting and registration |
| Saint-Laud station | A route suitable for luggage | Connections and reaching the platform |

Book early and organise your paperwork
Once attendance dates are confirmed, compare total prices, cancellation terms and arrival arrangements. Major events can create demand peaks: advance planning broadens your options without guaranteeing a specific saving.
Mon Château Angers can provide an invoice on request. Send the information your accounts team needs before your stay. Prices start from €75 per night excluding cleaning; check the amount for your dates rather than treating this as an exhibition package.
From the apartment
Mon Château Angers is at 6 boulevard du Général de Gaulle, opposite the castle. This 35 m² ground-floor apartment has fibre Wi-Fi, a kitchenette and round-the-clock self check-in under your stay’s arrangements. The bedroom faces a quiet courtyard; the living room overlooks the castle.
It sleeps up to four: two in the bedroom and two on the living-room sofa bed. Colleagues should check that this layout suits them before booking. Explore the accommodation, practical information and direct booking.
