  • Brocante de Courcon #36eme Edition

    Brocante de Courcon #36eme Edition is built around a town-center brocante organized by the Courçon animation committee, with more than 100 exhibitors. The setting in Courçon gives the market its community scale, tying seasonal goods or second-hand finds to the everyday life of the town. That local texture gives the event its social and cultural weight.

  • Fete du Pineau et des Terroirs in Epargnes

    Fête du Pineau et des Terroirs sets Pineau and Saintongeais terroir in motion across Épargnes. It is organized around live music, dance, local producers, family activities and exhibitions. It gives rural life a visible form through produce, craft, tables or simple public exchange. The public experience is built from what people can see, hear, taste or join.

  • Les Puces de Metz — Grand Est Antique and Flea Market Tradition

    Les Puces de Metz are more than a shopping stop: they are a long-running Messin tradition built around antiques, brocante, curiosities, vintage objects and the social ritual of the Saturday morning hunt. Since moving to the Parc des Expositions in 1978, the market has become a reference for collectors and casual visitors across the Grand Est and the border region. Its cultural interest comes from the objects themselves — furniture, postcards, ceramics, decorative pieces, books, tools and small traces of family history — but also from the way the event keeps a popular market culture alive at regional scale. The July 4 instance was not included in this curated version because the official Metz Expo agenda marks that date as cancelled.

  • Brocante dominicale de L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

    On Sunday mornings, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue returns to one of its most recognisable roles: a Provençal town of dealers, collectors and objects with a previous life. Along the Sorgue and near the historic centre, the brocante gathers furniture, tableware, linen, books, paintings, garden pieces and small curiosities that invite slow looking. The appeal is not only commercial. It is a culture of restoration, patina and domestic memory, perfectly at home in a town known for waterwheels and antique shops. The streets become an open-air cabinet of curiosities, where craft and the art of finding still shape the local weekend rhythm.

  • Brocante de Lancrel

    Brocante de Lancrel brings a classic second-hand market atmosphere to Alençon’s Lancrel district. The event is suited to visitors who enjoy browsing objects, chatting with sellers and finding small surprises away from the main tourist route. It is local in scale, which is part of the appeal: a simple market day with a strong neighbourhood feel.
