La foire au Jambon

It's almost time for the ham fair in Chatou.
If you are in Paris in March 11-20 over 400 antique sellers and food specialties from all over France are sold. You can taste the yummy ham from Alsace and other regional fare. Dress warmly.

I heard somewhere that this was held twice a year, once in the Spring and again some time in Sept. is that true? Do they have ham each time? I am going in the fall and hoped to find something like this to go to.
