The Paris Fair, which takes place at Porte de Versailles until May 8, is offering its famous Lépine competition. Quite often, the inventors who have taken part in them have changed our lives.

In the aisles of the Foire de Paris, it is the attraction, the obligatory passage: the pavilion of inventors of the competition Lepine. This year again, the inventors redouble their imagination. Like a rechargeable wheel, which transform nany bicycle in electric bike. A t-shirt to prevent children from drowning, or even a mini caravan for bicycles. And useful, futile, even useless inventions, the jurors of the competition Lepine have seen it pass, in 122 years of existence.

Everyday objects that force destiny

A number of totally wacky projects will remain in the boxes. Whatever, the main thing is to participate, and above all to create. A brilliant invention can also turn into a commercial success, such as the washing machine, the steam iron or even the ballpoint pen, it was at the Paris Fair that they were presented. Everyday objects that force destiny. Thus, from the invention of the masher will be born the company Moulinex. This year, 371 creations are in the running.
