The Salon des Cent (also known as "Salon des 100" or "Salon de La Plume") is a French art exhibition hall imagined by Léon Deschamps, launched in Paris in February 1894 in the hall of the magazine La Plume.

The idea was to exhibit and sell mainly prints and drawings, in association with a literary and artistic periodical. The last edition, the fifty-third, took place at the end of 1900.

This salon, marked by the spirit of the end of the century, was imagined in 1893 by Léon Deschamps, founder of the monthly magazine of literature and art La Plume, with the motto "Pour l'Art" and which brought together around him many symbolists.

Deschamps aims to exhibit contemporary creators adept at modes of expression linked to printmaking, and therefore to multiples, outside of all schools, without a jury or promise of reward, as on the fringes of institutional venues.

In the hall of the magazine's headquarters, posters, lithographs, engravings, drawings, sculptures (small clay or bronze prints), albums, artist's books, etc., are on sale at reasonable prices.
