Rocalia
Rocalia: The Premier Fair for Natural Stone Professionals in France
Every two years, in the heart of France, professionals from the natural stone industry gather to celebrate innovation, tradition, and craftsmanship at the Rocalia fair. Dedicated exclusively to the world of natural stone, Rocalia serves as the only major trade show in France that brings together stone experts, designers, architects, and builders who share a passion for this timeless material.
Held simultaneously with Paysalia, the renowned garden and landscaping fair, Rocalia is organized by GL Events Exhibitions Operations in collaboration with Pierre Actual, a leading publication in the field. Together, these two events form a powerful professional meeting point for the intersecting worlds of building, landscaping, and ornamental rock applications.
Who Should Attend Rocalia? A Meeting Place for Stone Visionaries
Rocalia is not for the casual observer. This event was created specifically for those who work with stone in meaningful, creative, or structural ways. Whether you are crafting intricate carvings, designing facades, restoring historical monuments, or integrating natural stone into modern interior Rocalia speaks your language.
The fair caters to a wide range of professions, including:
Quarry operators and stone producers
Architects and urban planners
Restoration experts and conservators
Stone masons and installers
Landscape designers and garden architects
Interior designers using natural stone for luxury finishes
Students and educators in stone-related disciplines
For those involved in specifying, sourcing, working with, or showcasing natural stone in construction, design, or restoration, Rocalia is the professional epicenter.
A Rich and Targeted Exhibition Experience
In the most recent edition, nearly 30,000 visitors came to explore what 148 exhibitors had to offer. The products and services on display span the full breadth of the natural stone industry, from raw materials to finished elements, from tools and machinery to restoration techniques.
Exhibitors present solutions and innovations across sectors such as:

Rocalia Forum: Shaping the Future of Natural Stone
Beyond the exhibition floor, the Rocalia Forum provides a platform for knowledge exchange and future-forward thinking. This is where experts gather for conferences, debates, and round tables on the current challenges and opportunities in the stone industry.
Topics typically span from sustainability and responsible quarrying, to technological advances in processing, to preservation of heritage sites using local materials. It is a unique moment when tradition and innovation sit at the same table, building bridges between centuries-old craftsmanship and contemporary demands.
Celebrating Excellence in Stone Construction
One of the most anticipated moments of the fair is the Natural Stone Award, titled "Construire en Pierre Naturelle au XXIe siècle" (Building in Natural Stone in the 21st Century). This prestigious recognition is co-organized by SNROC (the French Natural Stone Association) and Pierre Actual magazine.
It rewards recently completed architectural and construction projects that feature outstanding use of natural French stone. The award does more than recognize beauty it celebrates ingenuity, sustainability, and the ability of stone to endure and inspire in modern architecture.
Past winners have included projects such as:
Public buildings with bold stone facades
Restored monuments using traditional French stone
Contemporary homes that blend ancient material with modern design
Landscape architecture that redefines natural integration
The award not only showcases talent but also promotes the economic and cultural value of regional stone.
Supporting the Future: Training and Career Opportunities
Another major feature of Rocalia is the Village of Jobs and Training, which highlights the wealth of career paths available within the stone sector. This area provides:
Demonstrations of stone-cutting and carving techniques
Information on educational programs and apprenticeships
Networking with institutions and schools specializing in stone crafts
With increasing interest from young people in artisan trades and sustainable building practices, the Village is a space where skills are passed from master to apprentice, ensuring the continuity of a noble craft.
Going Digital: Enhancing Networking and Engagement
Understanding that trade fairs today extend beyond physical space, Rocalia has invested in a digital platform and companion app to allow visitors and exhibitors to stay connected during and long after the event. These tools are designed to:
Help professionals find and connect with relevant contacts
Enable scheduling of one-on-one meetings
Provide access to session recordings and speaker materials
Facilitate real-time updates and product showcases
In a post-pandemic world, these digital extensions make Rocalia more than a three-day event it becomes a year-round community hub.
A Timeless Material for a Sustainable Future
Natural stone, often perceived as a material of the past, is increasingly recognized as a sustainable, long-lasting, and locally sourced alternative in contemporary building. Its ability to age beautifully, endure harsh environments, and require minimal maintenance makes it ideal for an eco-conscious era.
Rocalia celebrates this duality stone as both heritage and innovation. Whether used in bold contemporary forms or as part of historical restoration, it remains a core material in expressing human creativity and structural integrity.
Why Rocalia is More Relevant Than Ever
As environmental pressures reshape construction practices and architectural philosophies, natural stone emerges as a material of the future not just the past. Rocalia stands at this critical junction, offering a place to explore, celebrate, and evolve the role of stone in our built world.
Whether you are preserving a centuries-old cathedral, designing a minimalist stone kitchen, or pioneering digital fabrication in stone, Rocalia welcomes you. It’s where experience meets curiosity, and where the soul of stone finds its next generation of storytellers.
