Event overview
Salon de l'Habitat et de la Maison 2027 runs 12–14 March at the Parc des Expositions de l'Eurométropole de Metz, also billed as Salon Habitat & Jardin.
About 150 stands and 8,000 visitors are expected across 15 home, renovation, garden and property sectors.
It is a public consumer show for homeowners planning building, energy, interior and outdoor projects.
TL;DR
Visitors can compare builders, artisans, heating and insulation specialists, kitchen and bathroom showrooms, garden suppliers and property advisers in one hall. The show is sectorised, so a renovation or building project can be planned without visiting a dozen separate suppliers. Free advice spaces and the Espace Immobilier & Patrimoine add finance and inheritance guidance to the product displays.
The show puts a regional consumer audience with active building, renovation and property projects in front of local suppliers. Around 150 stands are planned for 2027, with 15 sectors and roughly 8,000 visitors expected. It suits builders, artisans, heating and insulation firms, interior retailers, garden and pool suppliers, and property or finance professionals seeking Moselle leads.

Edition recap
The 44th edition ran from 20 to 23 March 2026 at the Parc des Expositions de l'Eurométropole de Metz, with close to 120 exhibitors and around 10,000 visitors expected. The 2027 edition returns on 12–14 March with about 150 stands planned.
Impact
The 2027 edition matters most to Moselle homeowners with active projects and to local suppliers who need qualified regional leads. A smaller three-day format concentrates visitor traffic, while the property zone adds buyers and investors alongside renovation demand.
Audience quality
The audience is consumer-led, local and project-driven. Visitors typically arrive with a build, renovation, energy, interior or property brief, and many are homeowners rather than pure browsers. That makes stand conversation more technical and quote-oriented, but it also means exhibitors need French-language staff and clear pricing.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on lead quality rather than raw footfall. With about 150 stands and 8,000 visitors expected, exhibitors should plan for a few hundred meaningful conversations and a follow-up window of two to five days. No audited rebooking or satisfaction data for 2027 was published, so return estimates should be modelled from the exhibitor's own conversion rate.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Metz is a mid-sized regional capital with a cross-border housing market. Local homeowners drive demand for renovation, energy upgrades, extensions and property advice, while builders and artisans use the show to meet those buyers face to face. The event compresses a fragmented supplier market into three days and 15 sectors at one venue.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Energy renovation stays the lead purchase trigger
Insulation, heating replacement and ventilation are presented as the first step in most renovation projects, driven by running costs and French aid schemes.
What it changes: Visitors arrive with a technical problem and a budget, which favours installers who can explain payback and paperwork on the stand.
Cross-border catchment shapes exhibitor selection
Metz draws households and trade from Luxembourg and the Saarland as well as Moselle, and the show's offer reflects cross-border commuting and property patterns.
What it changes: Exhibitors with French-language service and cross-border delivery or installation can reach a wider catchment than a single-department campaign.
Property advice is bundled with home improvement
The Espace Immobilier & Patrimoine adds buying, financing, investment and inheritance advice to the construction and decoration floors.
What it changes: It brings higher-intent visitors who are buying or funding a project, not only browsing furniture and garden displays.
The Metz show sits in a busy regional circuit of consumer home fairs, with the Foire Internationale de Metz as the largest same-venue event and nearby Lorraine cities running their own annual home shows.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

Lunch is a scheduled break
Many local visitors and exhibitors take a proper lunch between 12:00 and 14:00. Staff rotas should cover the stand through that window rather than closing it.

Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Saturday 13 March 2027
Saturday gives the fullest day, with 10:00–19:00 hours and the widest exhibitor staffing. Friday is quieter for detailed technical conversations; Sunday is shorter and family-heavy.
Confirm dates and book rail or hotel — Metz hotels fill in March; check the date conflict before paying.
List projects, measurements and questions — Bring photos, plans and a budget range for supplier conversations.
Check opening hours and ticket terms — 2027 hours and prices were still to be announced.
Plan the sectors and stands to visit — Prioritise three or four projects rather than trying to cover every hall.
Pack documents and travel essentials — Printed plans, ID, charger, waterproof coat and comfortable shoes.
