A new community of committed influencers
A major new development in 2025 was the emergence of a community of ambassadors for the sector, bringing together content creators, landscape designers, and passionate project leaders.
Among them: Kévin Clare, Fabio Coupas, Steve Depecker, Corentin Pfeiffer, Baptiste Renvoize, Manon Pinard, Sébastien Brullot, Tommy Guichard, Clément Carroué, and many others. Their role: to promote the landscape, highlight the professions and inspire future generations.
Redesigned, green spaces for a unique and immersive experience
For the first time, Paysalia has reinforced its commitment by reinventing several key areas of the show, which are now green spaces designed for visitors' well-being:
• The show's reception area
• The Agora conference area
• The Gardeners' Bistro
These developments were designed by Antoine de Lavalette (Master Gardener 2023) and Marie Couronne (Atelier Meridiem), accompanied by Vincent Grunewald (finalist in the 2023 competition).
This initiative was made possible thanks to the support of Green Partner Synfolia, which helped create a truly immersive experience for all visitors.
See you in 2027 for another inspiring edition, from November 30 to December 2, at Eurexpo Lyon, which promises to be rich and exciting.
