Top 3 Must-Visit Free Post-High School Education Fairs to Choose Your Path!

Navigating life after high school can be a daunting task for many teenagers. Overwhelmed by too much information and a lack of clear direction, it’s common for some to avoid the topic or not know where to begin. Orientation fairs provide a practical solution to this confusion: these events offer opportunities to interact directly with educational institutions and engage in workshops that help attendees pinpoint the right programs for them. That’s why Le Figaro Étudiant is organizing three dedicated events in Paris, Lyon, and Nantes to help future graduates plan their paths forward.

Lyon Post-Bac Fair, October 3, 2026

The first event not to miss takes place on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 9 AM to 5 PM: the Lyon Post-Bac Fair. Set in the Espace Double Mixte in Villeurbanne, on the Doua campus, numerous higher education institutions will be available to answer all your questions. High schoolers can engage in practical workshops on how to succeed in their final year, navigate the Parcoursup system, maintain mental health, as well as participate in group coaching sessions to discover personal strengths, enhance skills, and explore potential career paths. Advice booths and conferences will also be available.
