Constructionshows
Rocalia is established as the premier and only exhibition in France entirely dedicated to the natural stone industry. Hosted in Lyon, France, this benchmark trade show serves as the essential meeting place for thousands of professionals, key players, and specifiers working with ornamental and building stones across the entire value chain. Rocalia is co-organized by GL events Exhibitions and Pierre Actual, reflecting its deep commitment to the sector.
The exhibition targets stone professionals, architects, designers, stonemasons, quarrymen, marble masons, and heritage restoration experts, as well as prescribers active in construction, building, decoration, urban planning, and landscape development. Rocalia is a powerful business catalyst, fostering exchanges, creating partnerships, and encouraging the discovery of innovative products and sustainable solutions that reaffirm the central role of natural stone in the future of construction.
A significant feature of Rocalia is its unique synergy with the Paysalia trade fair, the leading event for the landscaping, gardening, and sport sectors. This simultaneous hosting reinforces the complementarity between mineral and plant-based products, attracting a vast, combined audience of decision-makers—often exceeding 38,000 professionals—who seek comprehensive solutions for their projects. Expanding your network and engaging with decision-makers has never been easier than at this co-located event held at Eurexpo Lyon.
The show offers a rich program focused on promoting skills and innovation. Attendees benefit from expert-led conferences addressing critical sector issues, thematic events that promote know-how, and competitions like the ‘Building with Natural Stone in the 21st Century’ architecture competition. The Rocalia Design Expo also places design centre stage, showcasing collaborative stone items. Rocalia is dedicated to promoting French know-how and supporting training within the industry, safeguarding the quality and dynamic future of natural stone as a durable, authentic, and high-quality material for all building and design projects.
